CGLE Potosi Sidra
› This is a pre-order
› Any additional order items will ship together in one shipment
Next Batch - Shipping week of Dec 12
From enterprising producers Rigoberto and Luis Herrera (from the famed group Cafe Granja La Esperanza), this Hybrid Washed Sidra is from one of their umbrella farms Potosi. The sidra variety is a team favourite, often presenting with beautiful texture and flavour profiles reminiscent of geisha or Ethiopian heirloom varieties. It was originally thought to be a cross between typica and bourbon, but various samples sent for genetic analysis seem to suggest a closer relation to Ethiopian heirlooms.

Next Batch - Shipping week of Dec 12
From enterprising producers Rigoberto and Luis Herrera (from the famed group Cafe Granja La Esperanza), this Natural Anaerobic Geisha is from one of their umbrella farms Cerro Azul. Each year our team drools in anticipation when we manage to get some incoming lots from Cerro Azul. Cerro Azul means “blue hill” in Spanish and grows geisha exclusively. It was the first farm to cultivate the geisha variety in Colombia. In 2008, Rigoberto was managing the La Carleida farm in Panama and won first place in the Best of Panama Auction with a geisha. It was from this geisha that Rigoberto brought back seeds to plant and cultivate in Cerro Azul.

El Paraiso Eco-Enigma
This is our third year with a regional coffee from El Paraiso - part of our staple seasonal selection. This is a recent arrival direct from El Paraiso. The coffee is Caturra and Castillo from Bolivar in Cauca Colombia, where producer Diego Samuel Bermudez Tapia was born.
Eco-Enigma is a process from El Paraiso that is applied to coffees from neighbouring producers - in this case, from Diego's place of birth. Enigma is a closed circuit air recirculation and temperature controlled system. It uses condensation and recirculation to minimize the environmental impact of processing while creating replicable conditions to dry coffee to between 10-11.5% humidity regardless of climate factors.
