Prodigal Notes
This gorgeous washed coffee is full of pineapple, grapefruit, and tart cranberry. Classic, clean coffees like this are increasingly rare find, so we are thrilled to add it to the menu. The acidity is tart like a green apple, and the subtle stone fruits and prodigious aroma make this coffee a complete sensory experience.
For almost three decades, Raquel Lasso and her husband Carlos Alberto Belalcázar have grown coffee at La Bohemia. This perfect pair has won multiple Cup of Excellence Colombia awards including #1 in 2022 and #5 in 2023! Carlos and Raquel meticulously work together on their six hectares that contain around 10,000 coffee plants and a variety of vegetables in self-sustaining greenhouses. This lot gets its name from an "island" of pink bourbon trees that stand alone on their property. These trees stood out for the special flavors their coffee produced - beautiful tropical flavors and subtle aromatics, earning the name "borbon sutil".
Only ripe cherries were harvested, sorted by density, and sanitized. Then they fermented for 96 hours. After a final washing they were sun dried on raised beds for 25 days.
