Café Granja La Esperanza [CGLE-17]

Highlights

“CGLE-17 is an experimental hybrid developed by Café Granja La Esperanza from Caturra and Gesha genetics. Development began with selected Caturra plants at Potosí in 2011, early hybrids were planted in 2014, and further selection produced the Caturra-Gesha cross planted in 2017 — the aim being to combine Gesha's sensory potential with greater adaptability and productivity. The washed lot is fermented 18-22 hours in cherry, depulped, then fermented a further 24-35 hours before washing, mechanical drying at around 38°C and controlled stabilisation.”
