The Herrera family’s work traces back to Potosí, where Juan Antonio Herrera expanded the farm’s plantings beyond Typica to include Yellow Bourbon, Red Bourbon, and Caturra, laying the foundation for the family’s focus on variety selection, agronomy, and quality-driven processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"560\" data-end=\"1296\"\u003eThis lot comes from Cerro Azul in Trujillo, Valle del Cauca, a high-elevation farm associated with Café Granja La Esperanza’s pioneering work with Gesha in Colombia. Cerro Azul is recognized as Colombia’s first Gesha-only farm, originally converted from other varieties before being planted with Gesha seed brought from Panama. Today, the farm is divided into seven lots and sits in a cool, humid mountain environment, a planted area of 17.4 hectares, and temperatures ranging from 15–21°C. Within that setting, this Gesha lot’s 1,752–1,941 masl elevation range supports a cup profile that emphasizes aromatic clarity, citrus structure, and delicate floral sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1384\" data-end=\"1391\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Gesha\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1393\" data-end=\"1755\"\u003eGesha, also commonly spelled Geisha, is an Arabica variety widely valued in specialty coffee for its high cup-quality potential when grown and managed well at elevation. It is often associated with floral aromatics, delicate fruit expression, and a refined structure, though the final cup is shaped by the farm, harvest selection, processing, roast, and brewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1757\" data-end=\"2003\"\u003eIn this Cerro Azul Natural, the rose note points toward Gesha’s aromatic side, while the candied strawberry and guava notes show how natural processing can amplify the variety’s fruit expression without necessarily obscuring its floral character.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hydrangea Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"4oz (114g)","offer_id":54142909808962,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8oz (227g)","offer_id":54142909841730,"sku":null,"price":56.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2lbs (907g)","offer_id":54142909874498,"sku":null,"price":188.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/6887\/3282\/files\/CandiesStrawberry_Guava_Rose.jpg?v=1779827659","url":"https:\/\/hydrangea.coffee\/products\/gesha-hybrid-washed-cerro-azul-cafe-granja-la-esperanza","provider":"Hydrangea Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
