Cerro Azul Gesha – Naturals (Colombia)

from ₹2,000.00

Producer: Café Granja La Esperanza
Region: Valle del Cauca, Colombia
Type: 100% Arabica
Roast Profile: Omni Roast
Altitude: 1700 – 2000 MASL
Process: Naturals
Varieties: Gesha
Flavor Notes: Red Apple, Guava, Strawberry Jam, Raspberry Lemonade

We’re excited to bring you our second lot from the world-renowned, prestigious Colombian super-specialty producer – Café Granja La Esperanza. This Gesha comes from their precious gem of a farm, Cerro Azul, located at an altitude of almost 2000 metres above sea level. The Gesha varietal needs no introduction but this carefully nurtured lot surely does. As is the case with any specialty coffee, we recommend allowing your cup of Cerro Azul Gesha Naturals to cool a bit once you have brewed it. Your initial sips will reveal sweet red apples and guava. The tactile is rich and creamy and is enhanced by a bright and sparkling acidity that lingers on. Further investigation of the rich experience of your palate will introduce hints of raspberry lemonade and a slightly sweet strawberry jam aftertaste.

The process involves rigorous and selective picking of cherries when they have attained a grape-like colour and a brix reading of 18. The fermentation is carried out for 36 hours after which the produce is left for 48 hours in a silo for drying (at an average temperature of 35 °C). They are then passed through the solar dryer for approximately 15 days.

Café Granja La Esperanza was founded in 1945. After many years of hard work, the farm was very productive regardless of the changes in the country and in the international coffee market. Third generation coffee growers Rigoberto and Luis Eduardo Herrera have always harbored a very special interest in coffee production and processing. Born in Caicedonia, Valle del Cauca, they began to revolutionize the specialty coffee scene in 1998 and continue the family dream that began in 1945. Cafe Granja La Esperanza manages 3 farms: Cerro Azul, Potosi, and Las Margaritas. At Finca Cerro Azul, only the Gesha variety is grown. The Finca is called Cerro Azul or ‘Blue Mountain’ because when Don Rigoberto was living on the nearby La Esperanza farm, the mountain he could see from his house looked blue and white because of the mist which surrounded its peak. On visiting the land, he felt a positive energy from the land and the neighbours which made him decide to buy the land and transform it into Finca Cerro Azul. Café Granja La Esperanza are the only producers who had 3 coffees featured in Coffee Review’s Best 15 Coffees of the World in 2019 – all three coffees scoring 95 and above.

We invite you to indulge in this amazing coffee experience and experience the fruit of the dreams, hopes, visions and hard work of each person in the value chain who has contributed to its creation.

Las Margaritas Red Bourbon – Honey Sun Dried (Colombia)

from ₹1,500.00

Producer: Café Granja La Esperanza
Region: Valle Del Cauca, Colombia
Type: 100% Arabica
Roast Profile: Omni Roast
Altitude: 1700 – 2000 MASL
Process: Honey Sun Dried
Varieties: Red Bourbon
Flavor Notes: Cantaloupe, Peach, Tomato, Lychee

We bring you the first of two lots this year from Colombia’s most prestigious super-specialty producer – Café Granja La Esperanza. They manage 3 farms: Cerro Azul, Potosi and Las Margaritas. This lot is the exotic variety from Finca Las Margaritas – Red Bourbon. While it is not as delicate as Gesha, Red Bourbon is one of the most culturally and genetically important Arabica varieties in the world and is known for outstanding quality in the cup when grown at the highest altitudes.

Bourbon is one of the earliest cultivars of the Typica group. It was first introduced in 1860 to Southern Brazil. From Bourbon Island in the Indian Ocean (now La Reunión), where it was cultivated by French missionaries in the early 1700s, it later spread into South and Central America. Bourbon is known for its distinctively sweet and delicate flavours. The plants are fragile and don’t produce as much fruit as some other varieties.

This coffee was first fermented in open tanks for 19 – 22 hours. Following this, it was de-pulped without water and fermented in mucilage for another 35 hours. Water is a precious resource high in the Cauca Valley, so the producers work hard to reduce their water consumption by using this alternative process. After the second fermentation, the remaining mucilage was removed mechanically, and the cherries were dried in mechanical driers to achieve a moisture content of 11%. This carefully calculated process combined with our arduously researched roast profile creates a beautiful flavour landscape exhibiting delicate notes of cantaloupe melon, peach and lychee. The cup finishes with a unique, tangy tomato finish that ensures the coffee leaves a strong mark in your memory. The cup is further characterized by a creamy, buttery body and a lasting sweetness that remains on your palate for prolonged periods after you have finished your cup!

Your thorough enjoyment of this coffee will be a testament to the high degree of detail and hard work that has gone into producing this cup. Relish it!

Manos Juntas Gesha – Anaerobic Naturals (Colombia)

from ₹1,600.00

Producer: Manos Juntas Micromill
Region: Huila, Colombia
Type: 100% Arabica
Roast Profile: Filter Roast
Altitude: 1950 – 2100 MASL
Process: Anaerobic Fermented Naturals
Varieties: Gesha
Flavor Notes: Jasmine, Rosewater, Bergamot, Blackberry

It gives us immense pride to present to you this lot of Anaerobic Fermented Gesha Naturals from the Manos Juntas Micromill located in the Sotara area of Colombia’s Cauca department. As a world-renowned coffee varietal, Gesha has made the pages of history bringing coffee lovers across the world some of the most phenomenal flavor notes that dazzle even the most experienced palates.

We have invested tremendous efforts to evolve our roasting techniques to bring the best out of this coffee. You will find intense perfumed florals with exotic, bright acidity and sustained sweetness. Aromas of jasmine and rosewater await to greet you into your first sip that will reveal notes of bergamot and blackberries. The rich body is characterized by a scrumptious, juicy texture that will keep you smacking your lips and slurping for more. A strong and lingering sweetness ensures an overall enthralling and pleasant experience.

This particular offering was first purchased in its cherry form when delivered to the mill by eight local producers, on the day of harvest. Upon arrival, the Brix and pH were recorded, and the cherries were placed in large hermetic tanks for a five-daylong anaerobic fermentation: Each tank was labeled with the name of the producer to retain traceability. During this period, nitrogen gas was introduced into the tanks in order to stimulate the yeast. Brix and pH were measured constantly throughout this process and were used to determine the stopping point for fermentation; the coffee was then subjected to 20°C temperatures in order to cease fermentation and remove the yeast and other microorganisms. The cherries were then aged in tanks for a period of five more days before they were taken to solar dryers. Drying took approximately 30 – 45 days.

A great deal of love, passion and hard work has been weaved into the process of developing this beautiful coffee for you. It is your appreciation for the experience that inspires each member of the value chain to work harder, better and with creativity. We thank you for your support and we hope you enjoy this coffee.
