From Finca La Roma in Colombia’s Tolima Region
La Esperanza Organic is grown at Finca La Roma, near Planadas in southern Tolima. Surrounded by mountains, this renowned coffee-growing region benefits from altitude, a favourable climate and rich soils that allow the cherries to ripen slowly and develop greater sweetness and complexity.
For many years, the area was isolated by armed conflict. Today, Tolima has emerged as one of Colombia’s most exciting speciality coffee origins, supported by producers whose expertise and commitment are bringing greater recognition to the region’s elegant and expressive coffees.
The Black Condor Project: Supporting Quality and Producers
La Esperanza Organic forms part of the Black Condor Project, created in 2019 by Emmanuel, a third-generation coffee producer, together with Colombian exporter Forest Coffee.
The project works with around fifteen coffee-growing communities near Gaitania. Its aim is to improve quality at every stage of production while helping farmers receive a fairer return for their work.
Participating producers benefit from regular guidance on fermentation, drying, cupping and quality control. Through this long-term partnership, their coffees can command premiums of up to 30% above standard market prices, helping to strengthen local livelihoods and support the region’s continued development.
Caturra and Castillo, Carefully Washed Coffee Beans
This coffee combines two well-known Colombian varieties: Caturra and Castillo. Caturra contributes refined aromatics, sweetness and complexity, while Castillo adds body, structure and reliable quality, along with greater resistance to coffee leaf rust.
Only fully ripe cherries are selected during the hand harvest. After pulping, the beans remain in contact with their mucilage for approximately 24 hours, allowing fermentation to develop sweetness and aromatic depth. They are then washed and slowly dried on patios for 15 to 25 days, depending on the weather.
This carefully managed washed process produces a clean and harmonious cup with excellent clarity. Expect a smooth texture and a layered flavour profile featuring caramel, panela and red berries.

Lugat
The type of roast will affect the balance of flavours (bitterness, acidity, sweetness, etc.) and reveal the aromas of the terroir to a greater or lesser extent.
The more the coffee is roasted the more its colour will change (from light to dark). The darker the roast, the more the aromatic notes are lost in favour of the roasting notes.
All our coffees have been placed in a colorimeter by our experts in order to compare the roast intensity.
The aromatic groups describe the tasting notes of your cup (hazelnut, chocolate, peach, white flowers, etc.).
If you don't know what your coffee profile is yet, we advise you to start with the most appreciated aromatic groups: rich & sweet or woody.
Please Note: this is not a flavoured coffee but aromatic notes noticed upon tasting.
The dominant aromatic group represents the most perceptible notes and the secondary group, the more subtle notes present in the cup.
Traditional Coffees (classic and superior) are the most common in the various distribution channels.
Specialty Coffees (rated 80-100) are among the best coffees in the world and represent less than 10% of world production. These are flawless coffees that offer unique tasting notes from one terroir (or even plot) to another.
Attributed by “Q Graders”, a coffee's /100 score is determined by the quality of the beans and the result in the cup. It is advisable to progressively move towards coffees with higher scores.
