In the early 1960s, Gustavo Hoyos and his family acquired a stunning piece of land in Colombia’s Caldas Chinchiná region, known as “Alto de la Paz” (Mountain of Peace). This area, once home to traditional coffee growers, became the foundation for Hacienda La Esperanza. The farm spans 80 hectares of fertile volcanic soil, ideal for cultivating high-quality coffee, and is nourished by the Campo Alegre river. Its lush vegetation and vibrant wildlife add to the natural beauty of the coffee fields.

La Esperanza is committed to providing a progressive and supportive working environment, ensuring the well-being of its workers and their families. The farm features recreational areas and comfortable lodging, with many employees having worked there for generations.

This exceptional lot reflects their hard work and dedication. Whole cherries were subject to a controlled 240-hour carbonic maceration process, enhancing its characteristics to resemble the texture and taste of sparkling wine. Subsequently, the coffee was finished as a natural on raised beds.
