This is a classic Geisha coffee – a highly complex flavour profile, sweet floral aromas and delicate textures. This lot was fermented first in an oxygen-free environment, then in an oxygen-rich.
The intention with multi-step fermentation processes is that the microbes created in different environments facilitate different flavour and texture qualities in the cup, driving notably complex profiles. The coffee was then de-pulped and dried.
The result is a Geisha full of archetypal qualities, with some rich fruit flavours and juicy textures promoted by the intentional and controlled post-harvest techniques.

The multi-farm group Café Granja La Esperanza is a pillar of Colombian coffee. Celebrated for its innovation, quality, and dedication to the highest quality coffee. Established in 1945 by Juan Antonio Herrera and Blanca Ligia Correa, the farm built itself a solid reputation for Typica, Bourbon and Caturra coffees.
More recently, the Herrera family - particularly sons Rigoberto and Luis – have transformed the farm to produce a regular stream of competition-grade coffees.
La Esperanza operates several farms across the Valle del Cauca department, each with unique microclimates and coffees expressive of these.
- Cerro Azul: Specialises in Geisha coffees.
- Las Margaritas: Produces Geisha, Mokka, Laurina, Pacamara, and Pink Bourbon lots.
- La Esperanza: Offering Laurina, Colombia, Geisha, Yellow Bourbon, and Caturra varieties.
- Potosí: The family’s original farm. Producing Geisha, Sidra, San Juan, Colombia, Castillo, and Mandela lots.
