THE ORIGINALS COLOMBIA TRES DRAGONES
Sourced from FINCA POTOSÍ in Colombia, run by third generation coffee farmers brothers Rigoberto & Luís Eduardo Herrera, TRES DRAGONES gets its name from the three great furnaces that were once used to generate the heat for drying coffees on the farm after fermentation.
For this very first naturally processed limited edition specialty coffee, the global awardwinning producer CAFÉ GRANJA LA ESPERANZA has used a very long in-cherry fermentation of over 54 hours in open temperature-controlled tanks, followed by drying silos for a slow and controlled drying. This creates concentrated sweet, fruity flavours and aromas.
CUP PROFILE
Bursting with the juicy sweetness of red cherry, laced with delicate notes of fresh roses. A crisp, sweet acidity & gentle, buttery mouthfeel lends a rich warmth to the finish of blossom honey.
