About Finca Las Margaritas, Café Granja La Esperanza

Las Margaritas is Café Granja La Esperanza's farm in Caicedonia, Valle del Cauca. Rigoberto and Luis Eduardo Herrera's family project cultivates multiple specialty varieties across its farms, keeping selections and preparations separate.

This Gesha selection grows at approximately 1,570–1,850 meters and is prepared using a washed process.

Variety

Gesha, also spelled Geisha, is an Arabica variety with Ethiopian origins. It is valued for high cup-quality potential and floral aromatics, especially under suitable high-elevation growing conditions. Its expression also depends on cultivation, processing, and roasting.

Processing

In washed processing, the fruit pulp and remaining mucilage are removed before the coffee is dried. This approach often emphasizes a defined structure and separation of flavors, while fermentation and drying choices still influence the result.
