Lot data: Bourbon Pimienta • 1,870–2,000 m.a.s.l. • Selective harvest • Density sorting • 24h fermentation in juice with pre-fermented yeast • Dark-room drying

This Bourbon Pimienta from Los Nogales is an advanced washed lot built around processing precision. Fully ripe cherries are selectively picked, cleaned, density sorted, then fermented for 24 hours in their own juice with a measured addition of pre-fermented yeast before a slow dry in a dark, climate-controlled room. The result is a washed coffee with more sweetness, detail, and aromatic lift than the category usually suggests.

Expect sweet malt, milk chocolate, and panela at the base, with cherry and strawberry sweetness through the middle. Pink pepper brings a gentle spiced lift, while the finish stays long and sweet.

Flavour Profile

The shape of the cup, before the flavour notes.

These six scales describe how this coffee presents in the cup — its structure, not its quality. Each position is descriptive, not a score.

Filter and espresso are profiled separately. The profile reflects how the coffee is intended to be brewed.

Perceived sweetness — not sugar. Restrained cups read clean and structured; pronounced cups taste riper and more generous.

Brightness and lift — not sourness. Soft acidity feels gentle and rounded; vibrant acidity has the sparkle of citrus or fresh fruit.

Texture and weight in the mouth — not strength. Tea-like coffees feel light, clean and refined; syrupy coffees feel denser, creamier and more coating.

How strongly the process shapes the taste. Traditional lets the origin speak plainly; expressive adds ferment-led character you can taste in the cup.

How long the flavour stays after the sip. Short finishes end cleanly and reset the palate; long finishes keep evolving after you swallow.

The intensity of the fragrance. Delicate aromatics sit quietly in the cup; strong aromatics reach you before the first sip.
