L28 - Colombia, Finca Monteblanco, Honeydew Melon Ice Cream, Watermelon Yeast Fermented Washed (Recommended)

Flavor: Cantaloupe, ice cream, excellent sweetness, juicy mouthfeel

Region: Colombia

Farm: Finca Monteblanco

Altitude: 1,730 meters

Varietal:

• Bourbon

  Bourbon is a mutation of Typica, with a rounder bean shape than Typica. It features soft acidity and pronounced sweetness. Introduced to the South American continent in 1860 as a replacement for the low-yielding Typica, it subsequently spread to Colombia, though it is grown in only a few select regions.

• Bourbon coffee beans typically exhibit sweetness, strong fruity notes, balanced acidity, and a silky, smooth mouthfeel.

• Caturra

  Caturra is a natural mutation of Bourbon. Its flavor profile is comparable to that of Bourbon, but it offers higher yields, which is why it is extensively cultivated in Colombia.

• Caturra coffee beans feature a rich aroma with nutty and chocolate flavors, a smooth mouthfeel, and hints of fruit and mild acidity.

Process: Washed Nectar Citrullus

• This process utilizes natural yeast from watermelon (Citrullus lanatus), which generates unique flavor compounds during fermentation, enhancing the body and complexity of the coffee. This method typically results in brighter acidity and rich fruit flavors, providing a distinctive aroma and taste profile that offers more flavor depth compared to traditional washed or natural processing methods.
