This coffee was grown by Javier Quintero at his farm, Buena Vista, in Inzá, Cauca, Colombia. It is a rare Bourbon Aruzi lot, a variety first noticed in Inzá when a coffee tree appeared different from the more common varieties grown in the region.
There is still limited information around the variety, but this discovery is not isolated to Javier’s farm. Other regions have also found trees that yield mildly different fruit, or trees that appear visually different themselves. The Bourbon Aruzi tree showed higher yield and resistance, and later lab testing found similarities between Bourbon Aruzi and varieties native to Ethiopia. We think the most honest thing to say is that it is still being understood, and that mystery is part of what makes this coffee so interesting.
The coffee is harvested following strict ripeness criteria, then floated and hand-sorted to remove defects. The cherries are fermented underwater for 30 hours before being depulped, washed and dried in temperature-controlled conditions until the desired moisture content is reached.
Javier has found a beautiful balance of just enough fermentation to release and develop some enzymatic character, without the flavour of the processing becoming heavy-handed or having a negative impact on the coffee. This balance also honours the flavours that are variety and terroir-dependent, which we subjectively love.
It is an honour to have a coffee of Javier’s calibre on the menu. It has the Made of Many hallmark of being clean and sweet, with a refined and quiet complexity about it.
