What is score?

  • The SCA (Specialty Coffee Association) is the global body that sets the standards for specialty coffee. Their scoring system, based on a 100-point scale, evaluates coffees based on various factors like aroma, flavour, acidity, body, aftertaste, sweetness and balance. Coffees scoring 80+ are considered specialty grade, with those scoring 86+ representing the top tier of quality and complexity.

What is single origin?

  • Single origin means the coffee comes from one specific region, farm, or cooperative, rather than a blend from multiple places. This allows you to experience the unique characteristics of that area’s climate, soil, and processing methods.

What are tasting notes?

  • Tasting notes describe the natural flavours found in the coffee, such as chocolate, citrus, or floral tones. These are not added flavours but arise from the bean’s variety, growing conditions, and roasting process.

What is the processing method?

  • This refers to how coffee beans are removed from the cherry after harvesting, which influences their final taste.

Rigoberto Herrera

In 2007, Rigoberto Herrera took on the challenge of managing La Carleida, a farm in Panama’s Boquete region. Just a year later, he secured first place in the Best Coffee of Panama competition, a turning point in his career.

Inspired by this success, he brought Geisha seeds to Colombia, beginning a new chapter for Granja La Esperanza. Adapting this delicate varietal to Colombia’s climate was no small feat, but through dedication and innovation, he transformed the farm into a global leader in speciality coffee. Today, Granja La Esperanza is known for its rare varietals and exceptional cup quality, continually pushing the boundaries of coffee excellence.

Finca Potosi

Acquired in 1945 by Rigo Herrera's father, Finca Potosì is the historic farm where the Herrera family's celebrated journey in the world of coffee began. Located in the Valle del Cauca, the farm's sweeping hillsides sit between 1,400 and 1,860 meters above sea level. This high altitude, combined with the region's fertile volcanic soils, provides the ideal conditions for cultivating both classic Colombian and rare exotic coffee varieties.
