Cafe Granja La Esperanza / Colombia Ave De Paraiso Honey Sidra 100g

Potosi is a coffee farm owned by siblings Rigoberto and Luis Eduardo Herrera, who are third-generation coffee producers from a family deeply rooted in the coffee industry. Their coffee legacy traces back to their grandparents, Juan Antonio Herrera and Blanca Ligia Correa, who embarked on their coffee careers in 1945 at the Potosi farm. They initially purchased the land, which already featured Typica coffee plants, and subsequently introduced three more coffee cultivars: Red Bourbon, Yellow Bourbon, and Caturra, marking the inception of Cafe Granja La Esperanza.

In the late '90s, Rigoberto and Luis assumed the family's coffee operations and embraced the labor-intensive task of transitioning the farms to organic production. Soon after taking the reins, they acquired the land that is now known as Finca La Esperanza, significantly expanding their commitment to organic coffee production.

Over the past 30 years of ownership and management, they have conducted substantial renovations on the farms. They have planted new and exotic coffee varieties across the 52 productive hectares of the Potosi Farm. At Potosi, they cultivate classic Colombian coffee varieties like Caturra, Colombia, and Tabi, alongside exquisite exotics such as Geisha, Sidra, San Juan, Mandela, SL28, and more.

In addition to their exceptional farming practices, the Herrera siblings are pioneers in the realm of coffee processing. They consistently explore innovative techniques and processes to elevate the quality of their coffees.

This particular harvest of Sidra is significant for Cafe Granja La Esperanza, as it represents one of their initial forays into cultivating this variety. They procured the Sidra seeds during a trip to Ecuador in 2016 and subsequently established a Sidra nursery later that year, marking the beginning of their journey with this unique coffee variety.
