Colombia Las Margaritas CGLE - 17 Natural from Parisian roastery Tanat (formerly KAWA).
Tasting notes: Strawberry – Passion fruit – Lime zest
This lot highlights the CGLE-17 varietal, cultivated by Granja la Esperanza, a hybrid of Caturra and Gesha.
Grown at an altitude of over 1650 meters, this naturally processed coffee reveals an explosive, juicy, tropical cup.
From the first sip, generous notes of candied strawberry dominate, immediately followed by a vibrant, exotic passion fruit acidity, while lime zest adds a distinct, citrusy freshness to the finish.
The overall result is an expressive, unconventional brew, true to Granja La Esperanza's innovative approach.
Café Granja La Esperanza – Excellence and innovation in Colombia
A family business run by Rigoberto Herrera and his brother Luis, two passionate pioneers who transformed their family's agricultural heritage into a benchmark for exceptional coffee. Granja La Esperanza manages several farms scattered across Colombia, each with its unique microclimate, altitude, and agronomic specificities. Among them are:
-
Cerro Azul: specializes in Geisha, with a humid, cool climate ideal for slow ripening.
-
Las Margaritas, La Esperanza, and Potosí: each dedicated to specific varietals and experiments with advanced processing methods.
Their expertise has led to their coffees regularly appearing in barista and brewing championships worldwide, winning numerous titles.
