Colombia Mandela Natural Anaerobic - La Esperanza - Microlot

Colombia Mandela Natural Anaerobic — La Esperanza Microlot

This exclusive microlot comes from the legendary Finca La Esperanza, part of the esteemed Café Granja La Esperanza group — pioneers of experimental processing and custodians of some of the world’s most unique coffee varieties.

The Mandela varietal, a rare hybrid developed for exceptional cup quality, thrives at high elevations where slow maturation produces cherries of exceptional density and sweetness. This lot undergoes a precision-controlled natural anaerobic fermentation, where whole cherries ferment in sealed tanks to intensify aromatics and elevate complexity before slow drying to lock in purity and structure.

The result is a coffee of remarkable expression — refined, layered, and unmistakably modern, with the kind of sensory depth that has made La Esperanza one of the most awarded coffee producers on the planet.
