Celebrating Café Granja La Esperanza - Melbourne

Café Granja La Esperanza (CGLE) was born in 1945, when Blanca Ligia Correa and Juan Antonio Herrera began cultivating coffee in Potosi farm in the Valle del Cauca region. A defining chapter came in 2007, when Don Rigoberto Herrera brought Geisha seeds from Panama to Colombia after a coffee from the acclaimed La Carleida farm won the prestigious Best Coffee of Panama competition. That decision marked the beginning of a new era for CGLE and helped cement its reputation as a producer at the forefront of quality and innovation. Today, CGLE cultivates some of Colombia’s most celebrated coffees across their farms, including Cerro Azul, Las Margaritas, La Esperanza and Potosi.

Bennetts has proudly partnered with CGLE for more than a decade, and we're thrilled to welcome CGLE Sales Manager, Alejandra Giron to Australia for a series of special events celebrating their remarkable journey, innovative approach, and the coffees that have captivated roasters, baristas, and coffee lovers around the world.

Throughout the events, Alejandra will share insights into CGLE's history, the meticulous work behind their award-winning microlots, and their long-standing relationship with Bennetts and the Australian specialty coffee community. Following the presentation, we’ll be putting on cuppings of CGLE’s outstanding selection of this season’s offers, that showcase the very best from this pioneering producer.
