Roaster Note:

Café Granja La Esperanza specializes in the production and commercialization of specialty coffee
varietals, facing huge challenges as the adaptation of these varietals to the Colombian soil and
climate conditions are quite difficult.
Also, having to face competitors in every specialty coffee market around the world. Cafe Granja La
Esperanza profiles are recognized and highly appreciated, and every day we continue to improve and
always seek to make a difference.
The Colombia coffee varietal is a hybrid of Caturra and the infamous Hybrido de Timor, a hugely
influential cross between Arabica and Robusta that brings a lot of disease resistant traits to Arabica.
By crossing with Caturra, members of Cenicafe, the Colombian National Coffee Research Center
were able to offer rust resistance and improved flavor profiles for coffee farmers in the mid 80’s.
Colombia can prove fairly unstable as a cultivar though and has seen a lot of replacements with
Castillo in more recent years.
