For the month of June, we are going to review 3 unique varieties of coffee - Sidra, Geisha and Mandela and introduce the world-class coffee farm Cafe Granja La Esperanza from Colombia.
 
Café Granja La Esperanza was born in 1945 to start its coffee journey. In the year 2007, Don Rigoberto (the third generation) had the chance to lease and manage a coffee farm in the region of Boquete in Panama, called “La Carleida”, and a year later obtained first place in the “Best coffee of Panama”, organized by the Specialty Coffee Association of Panama. At this point, he decided to bring some of the Geisha seeds to Colombia, marking the beginning of a new era in the history of Granja La Esperanza.
Café Granja La Esperanza specializes in producing and commercializing specialty coffee varietals. In addition to Geisha, Granja grows rare varietal coffees such as Laurina, Mokka, Pacamara, Mandela, Sidra, Sudan Rume, Java, Pink Bourbon, and others. Meanwhile, Granja focuses on developing coffee processes to upgrade coffee flavor. Every year, Café Granja provides unique coffee beans to the candidates to join the World Coffee Competitions.
 
Specialty coffee is defined by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) as a coffee or coffee experience that is recognized for its distinctive attributes, resulting in a higher value within the marketplace.
 
Ben, our Certified SCA Q Grader and Lucy who just came back from Charleston, SC that just obtained her SCA Q Grader certificate will apply "affective form" developed by SCA and go through the "attributes" to get your own coffee score.  Come and have fun!
