Incomes Sweet Valley last year in 2025, and we couldn't be happier to know bring it back for a second year in a row. Sweet Valley is a collaboration between DRW and Cafe Granja La Esperanza (CGLE), which sees a lighter fruitier field blend between their Potosi farm and immediate neighbours.

In 2024 we had the pleasure of sharing with you a couple of wonderful lots from Cafe Granja La Esperanza, in a hybrid washed Geisha from Las Margaritas, and another hybrid washed but this time a Pink Bourbon from Potosi. After all the great feedback on these, we wanted to bring back another stunner from CGLE, but ideally one that was a touch more accessible, allowing us to buy more, and for more of you to be able to enjoy drinking the stuff!
Cherry is fermented for 15 hours at a controlled temperature before being moved to a dehumidifier for another 72 hours until fully dried. It is then dehulled and bagged for export. Expect a fruit forward cup, one with a tangy wine like acidity, syrupy sweet red fruits with a candied mouthwatering nature and a big body that leans into jammy strawberry.
ABOUT POTOSI
Whilst this is not the most wild feeling of farms (that has to go to the nearby Las Margaritas) there is an abundance of nature intertwined with the coffee trees here above the valley so often cloaked in clouds and mist.
A number of the plots are given over to further experimentation – the growth of a field of plants or more rather than just a few, and you will find geishas, SL34, CGLE17, Sidra, Tabi, and even some heirloom Yirgacheffe. Pink Bourbon is of course grown here too, seen as first being noted in Colombia coming from somewhere around the Inza region.
