A Farm with Vision and Innovation
Granja La Esperanza is no ordinary coffee farm. Founded by brothers Rigoberto and Luis Eduardo Herrera, the farm represents generations of dedication to Colombian coffee. Originally part of a large Hacienda in Trujillo, the estate was gradually sold off over decades. The Herrera brothers, having left Colombia in the 1970s to study engineering, returned in 1998 with a bold vision—to rebuild their grandfather’s coffee legacy and redefine Colombian coffee on the world stage.

Today, their farm operates more like a fine winery, where varietals are selected for flavour expression rather than disease resistance, and processing methods are meticulously refined to bring out the best in each harvest. The farm has transitioned from traditional commodity-grade coffees to some of the most exquisite and sought-after lots in specialty coffee.

An Uncompromising Approach to Quality
At Granja La Esperanza, innovation is at the heart of everything they do. Tres Dragones is the result of a rigorously controlled natural process, where only the ripest cherries are hand-picked by a specially trained team. These pickers are paid by the day rather than by weight, ensuring their focus remains on quality rather than quantity.

Every single delivery of cherries to the mill undergoes brix meter testing to measure sugar levels—mirroring the meticulous approach seen in fine wine production. This data then informs how the coffee is processed and dried, ensuring optimal flavour development. In total, there are 95 quality control hurdles that each bean must pass before leaving the farm, an extraordinary level of precision that guarantees consistency in every cup.
