The result is a silky, structured coffee that’s equal parts delicate and expressive. The Story Behind Washed Sidra – Colombian Innovation, Refined At Café Granja La Esperanza, innovation is tradition. For decades, the farm has been at the forefront of Colombian coffee experimentation — pioneering rare varietals, pushing the limits of processing, and redefining quality standards worldwide. The Sidra varietal, a hybrid celebrated for its aromatic depth and layered sweetness, thrives here in the high mountain air of Caicedonia. Each cherry is handpicked at peak ripeness, then submerged in water to separate the highest-density fruit. This level of care is a hallmark of Granja’s craft — every step measured, every variable controlled, all in pursuit of clarity and balance.
