José Salazar Bourbon Ají2023
$15.75
Notes of Lime, Raspberry, Panela
This washed bourbon ají variety selection exhibits inviting aromas of spiced berry jam, toffee, and citrus peel on the nose. A vibrant acidity of lime and grapefruit in the cup is accompanied by additional layers of strawberry and subtle tropical fruit as the coffee cools, with delicate floral and browning sugar notes akin to panela emerging in the finish.

José Salazar Bourbon Ají 2023
José Salazar produces coffee with his family on their small farm near the important agricultural hub of Pitalito in the department of Huila, Colombia. As with his Cup of Excellence winning lot from 2021, and our selection from the 2022 harvest, this 2023 selection is an example of the “bourbon ají” variety, which genetic testing indicates is not a bourbon, but probably a previously uncatalogued Ethiopian landrace variety.
