From the rolling hills of Finca Aborajines in Pitalito, Huila, where warm days and cool nights shape the landscape at 1,850 MASL, a rare and expressive varietal takes center stage. Joselo Jimenes, steward of this land, cultivates Spicy Bourbon (Bourbon Ají) with patience and care, allowing the coffee to develop slowly before guiding it through a traditional natural process that amplifies its character and depth.

In this corner of Huila, the air feels grounded and sweet, carrying hints of ripe fruit and soft spice. Aromas of vanilla, cherries, and caramelized sweetness rise gently from the cup, setting the stage for a richly textured experience.

On the palate, this coffee is layered and memorable. Juicy cherry notes lead with brightness, followed by a smooth wave of dulce de leche sweetness that brings warmth and roundness. Subtle earthy and spiced undertones anchor the cup, adding depth and complexity. A medium acidity provides balance and structure, while the medium roast preserves clarity without sacrificing richness.
