Colombia Los Guacharos
Colombia Los Guacharos
We’ve carried many coffees from the Los Guacharos group before, but this is a unique one: our first bourbon aji varietal. This varietal is the subject of much fascination and rumor: it’s labeled a bourbon despite being actually traced to an Ethiopian landrace, and aji, or chili in English, due to either the color of its’ ripe cherry, or some producers detecting some spiciness both in the cup and on their fingers after picking! What we can say for sure is that it makes an astoundingly complex cup. We found it tastes of lychee and honeydew, with a laser-focused body and sweetness, reminiscent of simple syrup.
