The coffee story
The process
My sisters and I put a lot of dedication and care into this coffee, controlling and monitoring the post-harvest until the beans achieved the ideal fermentation and moisture levels. The ripe cherries were manually picked and, after the removal of floaters and green beans, we left them to rest for 20 hours before pulping under controlled temperatures of no more than 35 grades centigrader. We then depulped the cherries on a machine dedicated to our best lots and fermented the beans in mucilage for another 26 hours. We used marquesinas on the top of the beneficiader to dry the coffee, using humidity meters to determine when to stop the process.

Another great candidate for fantastic espresso! With its jammy mouthfeel, lingering aftertaste, syrupy body,and mild acidity it's going to taste just yummy. And as the cherry on top if it, there is a cinamonny finish to it as well;)

Hola! We are the Diaz Castillo family and we live in the village of Socorro, Santander. Finca La Esperanza is in our family since 2004, though it exists since the 1950s. We have been working with coffee for our entire lives and have been focusing on quality for a few years with the help of our partners and workers. In order to achieve that we have remodelled our benefício with new machinery to process our coffees, improving the separation of floaters, green and ripe cherries and also allowing us to experiment with new processing methods such as honey. We are committed to improve continuously and keep up to date with the coffee sector by watching webinars, talks, courses and going to events. Our family also values sustainable development and seeks to work in balance with the environment. We turn all byproducts of coffee into something constructive: the pulp is used as fertilizer, the skin is used for cascara infusion and we are also developing a coffee pulp wine!
