José Salazar produces coffee with his family on their small farm near the important agricultural hub of Pitalito in the department of Huila, Colombia. This is our third consecutive year featuring his coffee, beginning with a Cup of Excellence lot of we released on our Reserve Lot menu in 2022. As with past releases, this lot features a bourbon aji variety separation from his farm, La Guaca. We’re tasting cooked raspberry and toffee like sweetness, as well as bright citrus zest and a black tea finish.

José Salazar 2024

in 2021, José Salazar submitted a coffee to the Cup of Excellence competition that he had come to refer to as “Bourbon Ají'' after noticing that the coffee cherries harvested from particular trees had an aroma reminiscent of hot chili peppers (“ají” means “chili” in Spanish). Genetic testing ultimately indicated that this variety was not a bourbon at all, but rather, a little known Ethiopian landrace. Nonetheless, its quality potential has made it a a more prevalent variety in Huila ever since.
