＜Café Granja La Esperanza (CGLE)＞

CGLE is one of the leading producers in the Colombian specialty coffee industry, internationally recognized for its innovative and high-quality coffee production. Based in the Valle del Cauca and Cauca departments in western Colombia, they own multiple farms with varying altitudes and climates, including "La Esperanza," "Las Margaritas," "Cerro Azul," and "Potosí."

CGLE was established in 1945 and is currently managed by Rigoberto Herrera, the third generation of the Herrera family. They are proactive in innovating coffee varieties and processing methods, gaining significant attention in 2007 for successfully introducing the Panamanian Geisha variety to Colombia.

Furthermore, CGLE cultivates rare varieties such as Geisha, Sudan Rume, Mandala, Laurina, Sidra, and Pacamara, and is also engaged in developing new varieties, including the "CGLE-17" (Caturra x Geisha), a hybrid developed through their own breeding programs.

Their processing methods are extensive, including washed, natural, and honey processes, in addition to actively utilizing cutting-edge fermentation techniques such as anaerobic and thermal shock. As a result, CGLE coffees are known for their distinct flavor characteristics, complexity, and high clean cup scores, having won numerous awards at international competitions like Cup of Excellence and Coffee Review.

 

＜ Sudan Rume＞

Sudan Rume is a coffee variety discovered in 1942 in the Boma Plateau of southeastern Sudan. Also known as RS-510 or Rume Sudan, it originates from one of the few regions in the world where Arabica coffee grows wild.

It is a sub-species of the Ethiopian/Sudanese lineage, characterized by copper-colored leaves and resistance to the coffee berry borer. It also grows in a semi-wild state in the African tropical rainforests that extend into Mount Marsabit in Kenya.

Despite its outstanding cup quality, its low productivity has prevented its widespread cultivation globally, making it a rare variety. It was introduced to Colombia through Cenicafé, but its adoption within the country has been limited.

Granja La Esperanza conducted multiple soil surveys before introducing this variety. As a result, the Las Margaritas farm, located at an altitude of 1,700–1,800m, was deemed optimal, and cultivation began there.

 

＜Hybrid Washed＞

All harvesting is done by hand, and ripeness selection is strictly controlled. Depulping is carried out using dedicated equipment without the use of any water.

During the fermentation process, the degree of fermentation is assessed intuitively by taste and aroma while regularly stirring to determine the optimal fermentation point for the target cup profile. First, the cherries undergo primary fermentation for 19-22 hours, followed by depulping and a secondary fermentation of the parchment and mucilage for 35 hours.

Once fermentation is complete, the coffee is carefully washed and moved to the drying stage. It is mechanically dried with strict temperature control between 35-45℃, finishing at a moisture content of 10.5%.

 

＜Manufacturing Cost (per 150g)＞

① Direct Material Costs:
Material costs that can be directly identified as incurred to manufacture roasted beans.
(e.g.) Green beans, valve-equipped ziplock bags, front labels, back labels
The direct material cost ratio (Direct Material Cost ÷ Retail Price × 100) for these beans is 42.0%.
② Indirect Material Costs:
Material costs that cannot be directly identified as incurred to manufacture roasted beans.
(e.g.) Blades and rubber parts for label cutting machines
③ Direct Labor Costs:
Labor costs that can be directly identified as incurred to manufacture roasted beans.
(e.g.) Wages paid to employees involved in manufacturing, such as roasting and bagging roasted beans
④ Indirect Labor Costs:
Labor costs that cannot be directly identified as incurred to manufacture roasted beans.
(e.g.) Wages paid to employees not involved in manufacturing, such as administrative staff
⑤ Direct Expenses:
Expenses that can be directly identified as incurred to manufacture roasted beans.
(e.g.) Costs incurred when outsourcing a portion of the processing related to manufacturing, such as bagging roasted beans
⑥ Indirect Expenses:
Expenses that cannot be directly identified as incurred to manufacture roasted beans.
(e.g.) Electricity/gas costs used for roasting, depreciation of roasting machines, electricity costs for storing green beans at low temperatures

The sum of ① to ⑥ above constitutes the manufacturing cost.
※ The total cost is the manufacturing cost plus selling expenses incurred for product sales and general administrative expenses for overall store management.
