THE PRODUCER
Finca Potosí is one of the historic farms of Café Granja La Esperanza, sitting at approximately 1,400–1,860 masl and known for its long-standing focus on variety selection and experimentation. The Café Granja La Esperanza story began here in 1945, when the Herrera family introduced Yellow Bourbon, Red Bourbon, and Caturra alongside the existing Typica plantings. Today Potosí remains an important site for experimenting with varieties and processing methods, producing Natural, Honey, Washed, and Anaerobic lots that let the same terroir express itself in remarkably different ways.

THE PROCESS
This lot is a Natural: cherries are dried whole, allowing the fruit to impart its character directly into the bean. This approach is what builds the generous fruit sweetness and fuller, more expressive character behind this cup.

THE CUP
Fruit-forward and richly layered: vibrant raspberry and grape open the cup, followed by a deeper red wine character and a lingering sweetness reminiscent of whisky chocolate.
