Washed Colombian coffee from Finca La Esperanza in Valle de Cauca, a farm owned by brothers Rigoberto and Luis Herrera. The coffee is a Caturra variety featuring cherries that are hand-sorted, floated, depulped, fermented for 24 hours, washed, and mechanically dried with low heat for 48 hours. This processing method highlights the fundamentals of coffee production with careful attention to cherry maturation and quality control.
