Las Palmas Bourbon Aji

Las Palmas Bourbon Aji

25 CHF

Finca Las Palmas is a small 2-hectare farm in Bruselas, Pitalito, Huila, managed by Abelardo Alvear at 1,840 m.a.s.l. Abelardo has been around coffee his whole life, but Bourbon Aji is a newer obsession: he first heard about the variety in 2023, became curious about its distinctive chili-like aromatic, and decided to plant it at his own farm. The process is careful and expressive. Ripe cherries are selectively harvested, fermented anaerobically in sealed bags for 38 hours, then depulped and fermented again in tanks for around 80 hours. After a light rinse, the coffee is patio-dried for about 21 days. This processing gives us a little more intensity to our flavours, and vibrancy to our acidity - in the best ways possible. You can expect vibrant citrus, stone fruit, and pronounced sweetness the whole way! This is the sort of coffee we like for filter when you want something rare, but still every day. Brewed with a Conical, or Flat bed filter, stick to a slightly higher temperature, and enjoy easily!
