Coffee Story:
- Laurina, a type of coffee known for its strikingly low caffeine content, was first discovered in the 18th century on Reunion Island located in the Indian Ocean. Also referred to as Bourbon Pointu, this variety of coffee acquires its name from the island's previous name "Bourbon" and its distinctively elongated and pointed coffee beans.
- The light and graceful Laurina is reminiscent of tea in its characteristics with a delightful sweetness, refreshing acidity, and an absence of bitterness. This coffee has a fruity and flowery flavour profile with hints of peach, papaya, plum, honey and a pleasingly aromatic floral essence.
Producer
- Owned by Rigoberto and Luis Eduardo Herrera, third-generation coffee producers from a long-standing coffee-producing family. Their grandparents started coffee production at the Potosi farm in 1945.
- Cafe Granja La Esperanza began when Juan Antonio Herrera and his wife Blanca Ligia Correa bought the land and added Red Bourbon, Yellow Bourbon, and Caturra cultivars. Soon after, they acquired land for Finca La Esperanza to expand their organic coffee production. The second farm, spanning 35 hectares, has a processing facility where Cerro Azul and La Esperanza coffees are perfected.
- The highly coveted Laurina variety has a tear-drop appearance, hence the name Bourbon Pointu. This Laurina has low caffeine content, a bright acidity, and lovely sweetness. Harvested in purple, it is dehydrated for 48 hours in silos before being laid in raised beds under solar dryers for 15 days.
