Hertson and his brother Jesus bought farm together in the 2000’s in Huila. They dreamt big attempting to restore the abandoned farm La Esperanza. Every year a passion for specialty coffee grew in them together and so did their farm. The mill got fixed, facilities improved and now their coffees was tasting better than ever!
The coffee lot we bought from them is the Cenicafe 1 varietal. A new varietal 20 year in the making with the goal to improve harvest security at the same quality level as caturra and castillo varieties.
The brothers and their harvest team picked the ripe cherries and fermented them in barrels for more than 300 hours before drying them slowly. Covering them up when it got too hot or cold with the use of a sleeping bag like material.
The result is an intense coffee with a lot of fruity characters and boozyness.
