Colombia Javier Quintero
From Buena Vista farm in Inza, Cauca, this washed Bourbon Aruzi lot is produced by Javier Quintero at 1600-1700 MASL. Sourced through Cofinet, it’s our first year working together, and this coffee forms part of a 192kg micro-lot.
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.
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.
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.
