Colombia Las Flores Bourbon Natural Cider

Coffee Information

Sweetness in coffee is a sort of mirage, and if we were in a desert, this coffee would be an oasis. While roasted coffee does not have sugars that can directly cause the sensation of sweetness, this batch of Bourbon Cider presents with clear notes of strawberry, blueberry and honey.

This coffee, produced by Jhoan Vergara of Finca Las Flores , stands on the world stage as the main intellectual heir of Néstor Lasso of Finca El Diviso. With a selective harvest and an extremely structured post-harvest process, this lot is characterized by its unusual clarity in descriptors and a very high sensation of sweetness.
