About this coffee
Expect notes of Black Cherry, Melon, Cacao
We're delighted to release a new natural-processed coffee from La Piragua in Palestina, Huila, produced by Arley Vargas alongside his father Alexander. Grown between 1,600 and 1,800 masl on a 10-hectare farm where the family champions regenerative practices, this lot showcases Striped Bourbon, a striking variety distinguished by red cherries streaked with orange.
Long believed to be a natural mutation of Red Bourbon, recent genetic testing has revealed something far more surprising: Striped Bourbon shares closer lineage with Gesha than with traditional Bourbon, helping explain the floral complexity and aromatic intensity that sets it apart in the cup.
