About Coffee
Café Granja La Esperanza is one of Colombia’s most respected and innovative coffee producers. The Herrera family has shaped its legacy over generations, beginning in 1945 when Juan Antonio Herrera and Blanca Ligia Correa introduced Bourbon and Caturra to the Potosí farm.
Today, the family is led by brothers Rigoberto and Luis Herrera, who manage several award-winning farms, including Las Margaritas, where this exceptional Geisha was grown. In 2008, after winning first place at Panama’s prestigious Best of Panama competition, Rigoberto brought Geisha seeds back to Colombia. This marked a new chapter for Granja La Esperanza, beginning their journey of cultivating rare varietals under Colombia’s challenging conditions with remarkable success.
At Las Margaritas, only the ripest cherries are hand-selected for this lot. After floating to remove imperfections, Brix levels are measured to ensure peak sweetness. The cherries are pulped and fermented aerobically for 48 hours, enhancing depth and complexity.
To preserve the coffee’s delicate profile, the beans are gently dried in mechanical silos for 3 to 5 days at a controlled 38°C, then rested in climate-controlled storage to stabilize flavor and freshness. The result is a Red Bourbon Honey that highlights Colombia’s terroir with sweetness, structure, and elegance.
