Seasonal Roaster

Autumn

Roaster: Code Black

La Esperanza in Trujillo is one of the five farms owned by Rigoberto and his brother Luis. They run a family business as third generation coffee producers, with Granja La Esperanza established almost a century ago by their grandparents. This continuation over the years to push boundaries of varietals and experimental processing has produced years of competition winning cup profiles.  Rigoberto describes the 3 pillars upon which their control of coffee quality is built as ‘The Genetic Material of the Variety, the Terroir and the Human Talent.

​

Potosi farm where their main processing facility was based was devastated by fire in recent years. As Granja picked through the ruins they realised this was an opportunity for a clean slate and they were able to design a production line which was more efficient; this is where the “three dragons” flavour profile was born. This name is also a homage to the three gas fired mechanical dryers which are installed at the mill which give ultimate versatility and control when drying and processing their precious harvest.
