About

Coffee Expression The double fermentation used here leads to a clean and crisp representation of the Bourbon Ají varietal, with complex floral aromas followed by soft vanilla, ripe berries and sugar cane in the cup.

Producer Jefferson Imbachi has only recently started farming his own coffee, but has worked on his parents and grandparents’ farms his whole life. Bourbon Ají, or ‘Chilli Bourbon’ was discovered in the area around Brucelas, named for the slight burning sensation both when eaten and when touched, similar to a chilli pepper.

Brewing Advice

Water is one of the most critical components of an excellent coffee experience. We recommend using mineral water of a soft Total Dissolved Solids count, ideally below 150 ppm. 

Rested coffee During the resting process, harsh and astringent flavors, which can even be perceived as a ‘roast’ character, soften out, allowing a clearer and brighter expression of the coffee’s character to shine.  

We recommend resting our coffees for at least 10 days after the roast date, and we often find excellent results, especially for particularly dense coffees, beyond 6 weeks.

Brewing Our straightforward approach to coffee carries over into brewing. We recommend our roasted coffee for all brew methods, regardless of whether it is immersion, percolation or espresso. We believe that there is one correct way to roast a single coffee, roasting lightly, in such a way as to release its innate qualities and showcase its quality.
