Bourbon Aruzi Washed

This coffee was grown by Jairo Arcila at the farm Castellon. This coffee is harvested following strict ripeness criteria, floated and hand-sorted to remove defects. Cherries were then exposed to 30 hours of underwater fermentation before being pulped. The parchment was then gently washed and then dried in temperature controlled conditions until ideal moisture content was achieved.  This variety was discovered in Inza, Cauca - Colombia when a coffee tree was found to look very different from the typical coffee grown in the region. This unknown variety had a higher yield and was more resistant. As a result, some farmers began to grow this variety. Subsequently, the seeds were studied by a laboratory in London which found that the genetics and structure were similar to Bourbon Aruzi, a variety grown in Ethiopia.  Cupping Notes:  Vanilla | Floral | Cacao Nibs | Melon Cantaloupe | Sugarcane | Lime
