This coffee comes from producer Elkin Guzman at Finca El Mirador in Colombia. Grown at 1550–1700 MASL, this unique Striped Bourbon lot is a genetic mutation of Red Bourbon, distinguished by the orange striping that appears on the ripe cherries. The separation of this lot reflects a strong focus on innovation and experimentation in pursuit of improved cup quality.
The cherries are selectively harvested at peak ripeness and processed using a honey method, marking our first honey processed coffee. Careful drying preserves the coffee’s rich fruit character and enhances its depth and sweetness, resulting in a dense and expressive cup.
We tasted cooked berries, winey red fruit, and cacao nibs, reminiscent of single origin dark chocolate.
All our coffees are sold as whole beans.
We roast from light to very light, because it’s what we enjoy drinking. It’s recommended to let our roasted coffee age or ‘rest’ for 2 - 4 weeks after the roast date. This helps trapped carbon-dioxide within the coffee to be released, leading to a more even extraction and easier brew. Our light roasts are very shelf stable and can be enjoyed up to 3 months post roast date, although we recommend drinking it within 30 days after opening.
