Tres Dragones returns as a familiar expression from Café Granja La Esperanza, a coffee that has long shaped how we understand the producer’s style: defined by coffees that feel vivid yet structured, often carrying a wine-like depth beneath their fruit. Tres Dragones reflects that same character, but in a way that feels especially approachable.
At Potosi, where this coffee is produced, limited patio space led the team to rely on mechanical dryers. In 2018, a spark from one of these three dryers was carried across the yard and set fire to a house on the farm. No one was harmed, but the moment stays vidid; giving rise to the name Tres Dragones, a quiet reference to the three “dragons” that continue to define this lot.
In the cup, it opens with a bright, pineapple-like acidity; lively, but not sharp. The texture follows, fuller and more syrup-like, carrying flavours that move into dark cherry and chocolate. With time, or with milk, the profile softens into something warmer, where notes of rum and raisin begin to show.
It’s a coffee we’ve returned to over the years for the way it consistently delivers something expressive and complete. One that welcomes easily, yet continues to reveal more with each sip.
Recommended to rest beans for 7-10 days from roast date before consuming.
