About This Coffee

This coffee is a single-origin offering from the Potosi farm in the Valle del Cauca region of Colombia, situated at 1860 meters altitude. Produced by Cafe Granja La Esperanza, this Colombia variety coffee undergoes a unique Tres Dragones natural processing method involving controlled fermentation followed by mechanical drying. The resulting cup is big, boozy, and juicy, featuring a vibrant flavor profile with notes of rum, raisin, dark cherry, cherry sherbet, and raspberry. It offers a substantial body and texture with layered sweetness.

Bluebird Coffee Roastery

Dario Scilipoti founded Bluebird in 2017 in Howick, a small town in KwaZulu Natal, and moved into a purpose built facility in 2022 that now houses a roastery, cafe, training center, quality control lab, and offices. The operation won Roastery of the Year at the 2021 Coffee Magazine Awards and has continued collecting recognition since, including Best Coffee Packaging and Best Alternative Brewing Experience in 2024. All green coffee selected and imported by Bluebird is exclusive to them in South Africa. Two new carefully selected specialty coffees are released each month, roasted by Fanie Botes, with Luhle Mnyandu heading training and wholesale. Their podcast, Coffee Made Me Do It, was nominated for Podcast of the Year at the 2024 Sprudge Coffee Awards. Bluebird ships within South Africa and internationally, including to Czechia, guided by a stated hierarchy: people, environment, quality, then profit.
