COLOMBIA – TRES DRAGONES
VALLE DEL CAUCA | COLOMBIA
Sourced from the legendary Café Granja La Esperanza, this lot comes from the farm where the Herrera family’s legacy began in 1945. Spanning 52 hectares of coffee and 22 hectares of protected forest land, it is the largest and most historic estate in the area. The farm is renowned for its experimental spirit and rigorous attention to detail, consistently pushing the boundaries of Colombian specialty coffee.
This "Tres Dragones" lot undergoes a sophisticated double fermentation process: a 24-hour aerobic stage to initiate enzymatic activity, followed by a 72-hour anaerobic stage to deepen aromatic complexity. The cherries are then precisely dried in mechanical dryers at a steady 38°C and stabilized in climate-controlled conditions to preserve their vibrant character. Expect a highly expressive and structured cup with intense sweetness and complex tropical notes.
