The farm that started the Café Granja la Esperanza story, Potosi lies across the sweet, misty valley from Las Margaritas and handles the dry milling for both.
It is here that the tale of the three dragons, or Tres Dragones, stems from. Colombia never used to produce naturals, and Café Granja la Esperanza claims to be among the first. Lacking patio space on the farm, the farm switched to mechanical driers. A spark from one of these three driers carried across the yard on the breeze and set fire to the house in 2018. Luckily, nobody was hurt, but the legend of the three furnaces continues in one of the primary coffees produced here.
On Potosi, Blanca Ligia Correa and Juan Antonio Herrera introduced Yellow Bourbon, Red Bourbon and Caturra to the existing Typica, prompting a focus on coffee variety exploration. Today, the 74-hectare
Potosi is the biggest farm in Caicedonia, with 22 hectares preserved as forest land and 52 hectares dedicated to coffee production. It is home to many interesting varieties such as Bourbon, Mandela, Colombia, Caturra, Castilo and CGLE17, as well as Tabi , Yirgacheffe and the Kenyan varietal SL34.
Experimentation is also carried out on the farm, currently with some mother/father Geisha breeding trials and varieties being field tested before larger-scale production is carried out.
