About This Coffee

This coffee is produced by Jairo Arcila, a third-generation coffee farmer from Quindio, Colombia. It is a Bourbon Aruzi variety grown at 1,450-1,500 meters altitude. The coffee undergoes washed anaerobic fermentation for 90 hours, then is gently washed and dried on raised beds until optimal moisture content is reached. This particular variety was discovered in Inza, Cauca, and has genetics similar to Ethiopian Bourbon Aruzi. The cup profile features pear, lemongrass, chocolate, and lime notes.
