Colombia Tres Dragones Espresso - Single OriginSingle originCoffee from one traceable place — a country at the loosest, a single farm or lot at the strictest — rather than a blend of sources.. Café Granja La Esperanza, led by Rigoberto and Luis Herrera, continues nearly a century of family coffee innovation across five farms. Their commitment to varietal exploration and experimental processing has produced award-winning coffees, grounded in plant genetics, terroirTerroirBorrowed from wine: the way a place — soil, altitude, climate, even neighboring crops — expresses itself in the cup, independent of variety and process., and human expertise. After a fire at their main Potosi facility, they rebuilt with greater efficiency, giving rise to the “three dragons” profile; named after their triple mechanical dryers providing precise drying control. This lot undergoes 36 hours of cherry fermentation, 48 hours in a temperature-controlled silo, and 15 days of drying, resulting in a cup rich with deep, ripe red fruit notes. PROCESS: NATURALNatural processThe whole cherry is dried with the fruit still on the seed. Gives heavier body and big fruit flavors — think berries and wine — sometimes with a fermenty edge.
