ABOUT THIS COFFEE AND PRODUCER
Finca Potosi is regarded as the birthplace of Cafe Granja la Esperanza in 1945. It was on this farm that most of the renowned Herrera family was born and trained in the ways of growing high quality coffee. Rigoberto and Luis Herrerra took particular interest in producing stellar lots of coffee and have won multiple awards from the SCAA.
From Cafe Granja la Esperanza:
Every cherry is hand-picked at its peak ripeness, ensuring only the best make it to your cup. Through a meticulous floating process, we gently separate the cherries, guaranteeing superior quality. Next, we measure their natural sweetness with precision, setting the stage for fermentation magic. For 72 hours, these cherries are lovingly fermented in open tanks, unlocking the vibrant, complex notes that will define your coffee experience. Our cherries are dried to perfection using advanced mechanical driers, ensuring consistent flavor development over 8 to 12 days at a controlled 38 degrees celsius. Once dried, the beans rest in climate-controlled storage, cocooned at an ideal 18-19 degrees celsius to preserve their unique character until it’s time to shine.
WHY WE SELECTED THIS COFFEE
Yet another stellar release from one of our favorite CGLE partner farms, Finca Potosi, this Pink Bourbon is a vivid reminder of why we keep coming back. Naturally processed and intensely expressive, it showcases everything we love about this farm’s approach to fermentation and flavor clarity.
From the first sip, you’ll notice a super creamy mouthfeel that gives way to bright red fruit notes of cherry and strawberry, loud and lively. A distinct red grape sweetness then lingers throughout, a similar hallmark of their meticulous fermentation process that we find across many of their lots.
The finish is clean, elegant, and just a touch winey, like a light pink wine with refreshing acidity. This is a lovely natural with standout clarity and structure we hope you will enjoy.
