Colombia
La Esperanza Farm, Planadas, Tolima
Edward Giraldo's farm is located at an altitude of 2,000 meters above sea level in the Colombian Andes in the Tolima region in the heart of Colombia. The coffee farmer cultivates his specialty coffees on a 9-hectare farm. He produces organic coffee without the use of agrochemicals. The story behind this coffee begins back in 2003, when a certain Jorge Rojas (responsible for fermenting the coffee) was only 13 years old when he decided to dedicate his life to coffee. More about the story below.
Variety & Processing

La Esperanza
Our first coffee from Finca La Esperanza in Colombia is here. This microlot is real teamwork: Coffee farmer Edward Giraldo lovingly took care of the cultivation of the coffee cherries (rare Pink Bourbon variety) – Jorge Rojas did the rest. This Pink Bourbon Lot was processed in a two-stage anaerobic fermentation. The first step is "in cherry" for 36 hours, and the second step is "in mucilage". This is real processing magic that is noticeable in the cup. Roasted as an espresso, you can expect notes of pomegranate, cocoa and sage.


Story
The story behind this coffee begins back in 2003, when a certain Jorge Rojas (pictured right) was just 13 years old when he decided to dedicate his life to coffee. He worked on his neighbor Edward's farm (left) in the small town of Planadas in the Colombian Andes to pay his bills and buy food. He then took care of his own farm, which was only 1 hectare in size at the time. Jorge immersed himself deeper and deeper into the world of specialty coffee, and Edward always supported him. Today, Jorge is a master of fermentation, he takes care of the processing of twelve fincas and has two of his own.

Sustainable cultivation and quality awareness
As with wine, the origin, cultivation and careful harvesting of coffee form the basis for a specialty coffee. We only use ripe and hand-picked 100% Arabica coffee beans for our coffees, as the laborious harvesting by hand is an essential quality criterion. Our highland coffees are natural products and are grown in shady forest gardens in an environmentally friendly way. This preserves the biodiversity of the growing region. The coffee cherries can ripen slowly at cool altitudes with nutritious and fertile soil conditions. Under these optimal climatic conditions near the equator, the coffee plants have more time to develop their characteristic and fruity aromas.  
Freshly roasted by hand
All Röststätte coffees are gently roasted by hand in Berlin so that the natural aromas can fully develop without any unwanted acidity. To achieve a pronounced body and a versatile taste profile in the cup, we want to emphasize and optimally process the special features of the respective variety, farm and origin of the coffee with our roasting. The aim is therefore to exploit the full potential of the green coffee through our roasting method in order to emphasize the valuable work of the producers in the countries where the coffee is grown. These are our quality principles – from source to the final cup.
