Sourced through Cofinet, it’s our first year working together, and this coffee forms part of a 192kg micro-lot.</p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>We paid 89% above the Fair Trade price for this coffee. <a href="https://www.rumblecoffee.com.au/blogs/transparency-project/colombia-javier-quintero" title="Shop Colombia Javier Quintero Single Origin Filter Coffee">Learn more.</a></strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><meta charset="utf-8"><meta charset="utf-8">Bourbon Aruzi is a rare variety discovered in Inza, Cauca, when a coffee tree with unusual characteristics was found growing among more common cultivars. Later analysis showed strong similarities to Ethiopia’s Bourbon Aruzi, though research is still ongoing into its exact genetic makeup.</p> <p dir="ltr"><meta charset="utf-8"><meta charset="utf-8">Javier’s lot was selectively harvested for peak ripeness, then floated and hand-sorted to remove defects. The cherries underwent 30 hours of underwater fermentation before pulping, followed by gentle washing and careful drying in a temperature-controlled environment to achieve optimal moisture content.</p> <p dir="ltr"><meta charset="utf-8"><meta charset="utf-8">The result is a cup with smooth, balanced fruit character, layered with red grape sweetness, crisp cranberry-like acidity, and a rounded apricot finish. Clean, distinctive, and meticulously processed, it’s a compelling introduction to both Javier’s work and this intriguing varietal.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>
