La Esperanza Geisha

About This Coffee

La Esperanza is a single-origin Colombian Geisha variety from the Quindio region at 1,750 meters altitude, grown by the López Agudelo family on their farm. The coffee undergoes washed and anaerobic fermentation processing: cherries are floated and disinfected, hand-selected, depulped, then fermented anaerobically in water-controlled tanks for 36 hours, washed three times, and dried in shade on African beds for 13 days. Flavor notes include raspberry, strawberry, blackberry, lavender, and citrus.
