Farm: granja las esperanza
Producer: rigoberto herrera
Region: valle del cauca
Varietal: mokka

Café Granja La Esperanza's Mokka is exceptional both in quality and rarity. Generally found in the state of Hawaii, this variety was originally cultivated in Yemen and features the smallest bean size of any Coffea arabica. Mokka is known for its strong character, dense body, and pronounced sweetness.

Granja La Esperanza's aptly named Hawaii farm in Cundinamarca has a microclimate perfectly suited to this variety, featuring volcanic sandy loam soil, mild average temperatures, and full sun. The Mokka is harvested twice a year, fermented in-cherry for 48 hours in special barrels, then carefully sun-dried.

The Herrera brothers' patience and willingness to experiment with rare varieties has won them numerous accolades from the SCAA and Roasters Guild. They are also known for their fair and innovative production and labor practices. Optimal work conditions are a priority at the estate, where workers are paid fair wages and child labor is not permitted.
