ABOUT CGLE

Café Granja La Esperanza (CGLE) is a family-run group of coffee farms located in Valle del Cauca, Colombia. Their farms are Cerro Azul, Las Margaritas, La Esperanza and Potosi. Their journey into high-end coffee varieties began over a decade ago when one of the founders brought back prize-winning Panamanian Geisha seeds, aiming to cultivate this esteemed variety at their Cerro Azul farm. This initiative marked the beginning of CGLE’s commitment to innovation in coffee cultivation, focusing on developing hybrids that combine exceptional flavour profiles with resilience to changing climatic conditions.

CGLE has a decorated history, both in winning coffee awards and being used successfully by competitors on the world stage since 2012.

Our collaboration with CGLE has been instrumental in bringing some of the world’s most exceptional coffees to our customers. Through exclusive cupping sessions, auctions and origin trips, we’ve had the privilege to sample and select unique and rare coffees from CGLE’s diverse varietals and innovative processing methods.

Our team has walked the plantations of CGLE farms twice now (2023 and 2024), in origin sourcing trips to secure delicious coffee for the Australia specialty coffee market. CGLE is our first point of call for competition level microlots in Colombia. Our partnership has grown so far that the team at CGLE let us plant 4 trees – two in 2023 and two in 2024. We planted two Mandela varietal trees, a hybrid varietal created by CGLE. This partnership has allowed us to offer coffees that not only showcase CGLE’s dedication to quality and innovation but also provide our customers with unparalleled flavour experiences.

This coffee is part of our third series of CGLE coffees that we are sharing with the Australian specialty coffee industry. Sip this coffee, and say cheers to years more of delisious coffees from Cafe Granja La Esperanza!

ABOUT SUDAN RUME NatuRal

This coffee is from CGLE’s Sudan Rume crop, one of the most iconic varieties grown by CGLE. At a high level, their Sudan Rume is renowned for its botanical and floral profile.

This particular coffee has undergone a natural process, where the cherries undergo a 48 hour whole cherry fermentation before being dried as a natural.

This coffee is so impressive, Simon Gautherin (2026 Australian Brewers Cup Champion) used this coffee throughout the regional stage of the 2026 Brewers Cup.
