Café Granja La Esperanza

Zoca (established crop) is a method used to renew coffee plantations. It consists of cutting the stem of the tree about 30cms from the soil, instead of planting it straight from the seed. This method may be used when the field in renewal has the same coffee variety as the one to be planted. The abundant and strong tree roots are used to its fullest, which facilitates the coffee growth with fewer fertilization requirements. In general, costs for the first production are lower in zoca than starting from scratch. #coffeeplantation #coffeecrop #coffeetree

Developing that natural liqueur flavor in our coffee has been a challenge for us at Café Granja La Esperanza. We have used many variables to change the details in benefit protocols to develop cups of coffee with notes of cognac, wine and even whiskey, without losing its essence. : exploring new fermentation methods. #bestofcgle #coffeeprotocols #coffeeprocessing
