Light Roast City: Colombia coffee rarely has dark plum acid but not astringent and bright and delicate, smooth taste without traditional Colombia rich style, but there is a bit of Costa Rican coffee flavor, acid into plum sweet quickly.

Heavy Roast (General C): The aroma of raisins is based on the background, the taste is centered around the range of fruit maple syrup, the sweetness of fruit milk is distributed on the tongue surface without feeling particularly thick, and the whole feeling is more rounded and sweeter after the coffee temperature gradually drops.

Esperanza is definitely the top estate in Colombia.

Colombia Café Granja La Esperanza

Café Granja La Esperanza is composed of 6 farms under the Herrera family located in El Valle del Cauca and Cundinamarca, owned by Rigoberto Herrera.

Farmland in Colombia includes La Esperanza, Cerro Azul, Potosi and Las Margaritas , Hawaii, covering eight microclimate zones.

La Esperanza, Cerro Azul, Potosi and Las Margaritas are all located in Trujillo, Valle del Cauca is the western province of Colombia. The province faces the Pacific Ocean.

Trujillo is located in the mountains to the east, where there is a relatively flat terrain, also in the west of the Cauca River, elevation from 1000 to 3000 meters. The warm climate of the valley meets the cold air of the Pacific Ocean, making the average temperature and rainfall suitable for coffee growth.

The soil suitable for cultivation in this area contains volcanic ash and organic matter, but phosphorus content in this area is generally low, so Café Granja La Esperanza also mixes natural fertilizers to ensure the health of coffee trees and the quality of coffee beans.

Interestingly, in Granja La Esperanza there is a coffee tree called Laurina (species BOURBON), whose fruit is naturally low in caffeine, but because the fruit is weaker than ordinary coffee, it yields less.

La Esperanza is home to Caturra, Geisha, Moka,Bourbon (red, yellow, Tekizik), Laurina, Pacamara, San Bernardo and Pache.

Café Granja La Esperanza's Geisha Short Story:

The Herrera family rented La Cardeida estate in Boquete, Panama in 2005, next to La Esmeralda, known as Geisha. Originally planted experimentally with the help of botanist Hernando Tapasco, the breeding team spent two years in Panama learning the characteristics of Geisha before starting. In 2008, Geisha won the championship in "The Best of Panama," La Cardeida. In 2012, Coffee of the Year at SCAA, washed Geisha under Cerro Azul, Las Magaritas and Buenos Aires ranked second, third and seventh respectively.

Geisha varieties are also grown in La Esperanza, including rare certified organic varieties (Geisha organica). All fruits are harvested manually, and workers harvest more frequently than usual to ensure quality.

Other Manor Features:

☁ Cerro azul

Next to La Esperanza, the terrain is relatively high. Although there is strong sunshine, there are clouds at sunset and sunrise, which reduces water evaporation and has cooling effect. The valley's location converts Pacific Ocean breezes into clouds, which, combined with volcanic soil and abundant rainfall, is ideal for Geisha growth. Although about 45000 Geisha trees of about 7 varieties are planted here, the naming is very strict, and only 5000 to 7000 of them can express Cerro azul characteristics. AAA reserves are two of the seven species, and they grow at altitudes of 1,800 - 2,000 meters.

The coffee is fully washed, which involves 16 hours of fermentation, followed by drying in a dryer to remove moisture and drying in a raised bed of sunlight. Harvesting workers here have to undergo five months of training.

☁ Las Magaritas

Farther than Cerro Azul, in the central mountains of Colombia, part of the Andes. The soil, altitude and weather are the best, so there are many rare varieties here, such as Pacamara, Red Bourbon, Yellow Bourbon, Tekisic, Mokka, etc. In addition to Geisha, there is also a species called Sudan Rume, whose leaves are copper-colored. This tree can resist many diseases of coffee trees, and most of them are used for hybrid grafting. It is said that the cup test is not inferior to Geisha, but the growth is not as stable as Geisha, so it is not multiplied in large numbers.

Las Margaritas 'Geisha requires 14 hours of fermentation, washing and full sun exposure. Due to the humid climate here, there are fewer beans that rely entirely on sun exposure.

☁ Potosi

Farmland facing Las Magaritas. Since Rigoberto Herrera's great-grandfather began planting, the varieties are mainly Colombia varieties and caturra.

Caturra coffee tree

In addition to coffee quality, the estate also pays attention to environmental protection and staff welfare, and implements various methods to enhance talents, optimize the environment and productivity.

Colombia Colombia

Population: 47,073,000

Colombia has well-defined growing areas and the impressive variety of coffee they produce. Whether you want round, heavy coffee or crisp, fruity coffee (or something in between), Colombia beans are most likely. Colombia is divided by geographical location, and it is not difficult to find that the coffee in this area has many common characteristics. If you like coffee in one area, other areas will like it as well. Coffee trees in Colombia get double ripening, the main harvest of the year and the second harvest, locally known as "mitaca."

CAUCA

CAUCA Cauca, among others, is best known for its coffee cultivation in Meseta de Popayan, which surrounds the cities of Inza and Popayan. The high altitude of the plateau provides favorable growing conditions, and the proximity to the equator and surrounding mountains protects coffee from the humidity of the Pacific Ocean and the southern trade winds. This creates a very stable climate all year round. In addition, coffee in this area has a significant volcanic soil. Historically, there has been a single rainy season from October to December.

Altitude: 1,700- 2,100 m

Harvest: March-June (main crop), November-December (mitaca crop)

TOLIMA

TOLIMA Tolima, one of the strongholds of Colombia's notorious rebel group, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, held control until recently. Tolima has suffered from fighting in recent years, which makes visiting difficult. High quality coffee from the region comes from small farmers growing in very small microplots and exported through cooperatives.

Altitude: 1,200- 1,900 m

Harvest: March-June (main crop) Crops October-December (mitaca)

Variety: 9% Typica, 74% Caturra, 17% Castillo Vera

NARINO

Some of Colombia's highest quality coffees are grown in Nariño and are rated among the most stunning and complex. Growing coffee in many areas of these high-altitude areas is a challenge and coffee trees can suffer from leaf blight. However, Nariño is close enough to the equator that the climate is suitable for growing coffee trees. The vast majority of Nariño's 40,000 producers are smallholders, each growing less than 2 hectares (4.4 acres). Many people form groups and institutions to support each other and interact with the FNC. In fact, the average farm size is less than 1 hectare (2.2 acres), and only 37 producers own more than 5 hectares (11 acres) of land in the area.

Altitude: 1,500- 2,300 m (4,900- 7,500 ft)

Harvest: April-June Variety: 54% Typica, 29% Caturra, 17% Castillo

HUILA

Willa has a combination of excellent soil and geographical advantages for growing coffee, and some of the most complex, fruit-based Colombia coffee comes from here. There are more than 70,000 coffee growers in the area, covering more than 16000 hectares (39500 acres).

Altitude: 1,250- 2,000 m

Harvest: September to December (main crop) April to May (mitaca crop)

Main varieties: 11% Typica, 75% Caturra, 14% Castillo

Colombia-La Esperanza

Colombia coffee has long been rid of the impression of poor quality and base coffee. Through the coffee competition in recent years, people know more about Colombia coffee. Good coffee usually comes from good estates and some small special producing areas such as the former Colombia-Narrino producing area, but these coffee yields are really not much. Before the coffee competition, the classification of Colombia coffee is distinguished by the size of coffee beans. However, this classification only represents that there is no relative relationship between the size and quality of coffee beans."Bigger beans are better." This is an outdated classification system. Instead, some excellent coffee farms or cooperatives with small yields and small cultivation areas produce coffee beans with smaller, more round and complete bodies. This is the mainstream of Colombia coffee today. Good quality is the guarantee of price.

Colombia coffee is widely sold and used, mainly because of the soft and pure taste of Colombia coffee, and it is very easy to brew coffee beans, so it is very popular in every family. It is the best partner of dessert cake. With Colombia coffee, you can enjoy the mellow atmosphere she brings without coffee bar. Whether it is pure black coffee or formula coffee changed from Colombia coffee is a good choice.

Huil in southwestern Colombia is the producer of fine coffee and Tolima in Narino. Almost all the top 10 Colombian coffee competitors come from these three regions, and they are also dominated by small coffee farmers with small yields and small farming areas. La Esperanza Manor is located in the Huil producing area. The coffee farm, which does not belong to individuals or families, is a collection of several coffee farmers to sell under the name of Hope Manor (La Esperanza). It is hoped that the manor will be distributed in the forest at an altitude of 1400 to 1650 meters above sea level to harvest fully mature coffee beans by hand. Coffee farmers adhere to good planting environment and perseverance to control the quality of coffee beans. The winner of the 2007 Colombian Coffee Competition, it also won 9th, 12th and 14th (different coffee growers) in 2008 and was given a high score of 93 by American coffee master Kenneth Davids (author of coffee review and self-baking) in November 2008. it is the top manor in Colombia.
