La Esperanza: The Perfect Specialty Coffee for Espresso
La Esperanza Organic coffee beans are a Colombian speciality coffee grown using organic farming methods and carefully roasted to showcase the distinctive character of their origin.
In the cup, they reveal a beautifully balanced profile. Fresh notes of blackcurrant bring a lively fruity acidity, followed by a smooth, rounded body with rich chocolate tones. The finish is soft and lingering, with delicate hints of caramel.
Thanks to its excellent balance and silky mouthfeel, La Esperanza Organic is equally enjoyable as an espresso or prepared using a bean-to-cup coffee machine.

Insight into the Farm Origins and Sustainable Practices
The coffees in this lot are grown at Finca La Roma, in the municipality of Planadas, in southern Tolima, Colombia. Once affected by armed conflict, this mountainous region has become one of the country's most renowned origins for exceptional speciality coffee.
Thanks to its high altitude, favourable climate and fertile volcanic soils, Tolima offers ideal conditions for producing coffees with outstanding clarity, natural sweetness and remarkable aromatic complexity. The result is a beautifully clean, expressive and perfectly balanced cup that truly reflects the unique character of its origin.
About the Producer: The Black Condor Project
This coffee is part of the Black Condor Project, launched in 2019 by Emmanuel, a third-generation coffee producer, in partnership with Colombian exporter Forest Coffee. The initiative now supports more than fifteen coffee-growing communities around Gaitania, helping to improve both coffee quality and the livelihoods of local farming families.
Producers receive ongoing training in fermentation, drying, cupping and quality-focused farming practices. Through the project, they can earn premiums of up to 30% above conventional market prices, making Black Condor a meaningful driver of social and economic development across the Tolima region.
Beautiful Coffee Varieties and a Carefully Washed Process
La Esperanza Organic combines two renowned Colombian coffee varieties: Caturra and Castillo. Caturra brings elegant aromatics, natural sweetness and lively acidity, while Castillo adds a fuller body, excellent consistency and natural resistance to coffee leaf rust.
Only perfectly ripe coffee cherries are hand-picked before being carefully depulped. The beans are then left to ferment in their mucilage for around 24 hours, allowing their sweetness and aromatic complexity to develop. After washing, they are slowly dried on patios for 15 to 25 days, depending on the weather conditions.
This carefully controlled washed process produces a beautifully clean and balanced cup with remarkable clarity. The result is a smooth, indulgent coffee where notes of caramel, panela and red berries are expressed with elegance and precision.

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.
