Their portfolio spans several high-altitude farms in the Valle del Cauca — Potosi, Cerro Azul, La Esperanza, and Las Margaritas — each yielding distinctive, variety-led micro-lots of exceptional consistency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCGLE was among the first to introduce Geisha to Colombia and has since pioneered work with rare varieties including Sudan Rume, a variety of ancient Ethiopian origin with one of the lowest caffeine contents of any arabica and an aromatic profile unlike anything else in the cup. The estate is also known for hybrid development programmes and a deep commitment to social impact and worker welfare across its farms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Washed process at Las Margaritas involves:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🍒 \u003cstrong\u003eSelective Harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e — Cherries picked at peak ripeness by hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e💧 \u003cstrong\u003eWashing \u0026amp; Depulping\u003c\/strong\u003e — Fruit removed using mechanical depulpers, then washed thoroughly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🧪 \u003cstrong\u003eFermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e — Controlled fermentation to remove residual mucilage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e☀️ \u003cstrong\u003eRaised-Bed Drying\u003c\/strong\u003e — Slow drying on raised beds to preserve the variety's precision and clarity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✅ \u003cstrong\u003eQuality Control\u003c\/strong\u003e — Rigorous sorting and cupping at each stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe clean washed approach at CGLE is designed to reveal the inherent character of each variety without interference — letting the Sudan Rume's herbal, citrus, and spice notes express themselves with maximum clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE CUP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA remarkably elegant and unusual cup that rewards careful attention.
