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.

Luis Edgar Camacho

Luis grows coffee near Palestina, in the Huila region. He has been working in coffee for many years, and has been part of the strong drive for quality and experimentation in Huila over the past 10 years. Luis grows Geisha, Pink Bourbon, Caturra and Bourbon Fragrancia, and has experimented with processing over the past few years.

‘Bourbon’

Luis’ flagship coffees come from his own farm, and LaREB have been very impressed by his professionalism over the past few seasons. The portfolio of samples he delivers each year are carefully organised, with lots of detailed processing information available. This collaboration has been fruitful, Luis and LaREB have been honing in on the profiles that work best, working towards a selection for each coming harvest. We have expanded our selection for this year, with several small lots from Luis that are new to the La Cabra selection. This lot is Bourbon ‘Fragrancia’, thought to be a sibling of Sidra and Typica Mejorado, originating from Nestle’s experimental farm in Ecuador. Frangrancia creates heavily aromatic cups, alongside deep sweetness and structure.

Washed Bourbon

For this Bourbon Fragrancia lot, ripe cherries are first fermented in open tanks for 24 hours, before being rinsed and fermented again in sealed tanks for 48 hours. The cherries are then de-pulped before a final fermentation in sealed tanks for 96 hours. Water is added to this final fermentation, slowing the temperature rise for a slow and controlled fermentation. After these three stages of fermentation, the parchment coffee is washed thoroughly and dried in solar driers over 20 to 25 days.

This results in a clean yet full expression of Bourbon Fragrancia, with the emphasis on the inherent sweetness of the varietal, here underpinning notes of ripe dark berries.
