Medium-light roasted to emphasise sweetness and structure, La Esperanza starts with dessert like flavours of hazelnut praline and soft dried-fruit. A juicy mandarin orange acidity adds clarity and structure without sharpness. The texture is smooth, rich and rounded, enhancing the overall sweetness. As the cup cools, notes of sugar-cane, milk chocolate and plum come through. The roast highlights both sweetness and clarity, making it well suited to filter and Aeropress brewing where its layered citrus and praline complexity shines.

The coffee from La Esperanza is fully washed. Ripe cherries are depulped, fermented, and washed in cold mountain water before slow patio drying. This traditional method enhances sweetness and clarity, allowing the natural hazelnut and citrus character of Caturra to shine. The resulting cup balances caramelised nut and dried fruit depth with lively mandarin-like acidity and a gentle, rounded finish that suits both filter and immersion brewing.
