Colombia Cerro Azul Honey Gesha - Single Origin

‘Cerro Azul’ is the most famous of the five farms owned by Rigoberto Herrera & his brother Luis. Cafe Granja La Esperanza was established a century ago by their grandparents & has been producing microlots of the highest calibre for decades.

Cerro Azul is a farm exclusively producing gesha. the plants are grown on an elevated foothill of the Colombian Western mountain range. cool air from the pacific mix with the warm air from the valley to create a perfect microclimate coupled with rich volcanic soils; allowing the gesha varietal to thrive. the result is an elegant cup profile with great complexity and depth.

This farm is constantly producing Gesha lots throughout the year. Sustainable practises are intrinsic to Granja La Esperanza’s business philosophy and the productivity of the farm is proof of this.

This honey-processed Gesha was produced using cherry specifically chosen using brix measurements. Cherries are pulped without water & dried using a mix of patios and silos. the coffee is dried at varying layered formations to promote the development of flavours and aromatic compounds during crucial stages of the process to create an incredibly unique cup.
