Prodigal Finca La Bohemia Borbon Island - Colombia, washed

Straight from our freezer reserves — This beautiful washed coffee is bursting with pineapple, grapefruit, and tart cranberry. Classic, clean coffees like this are increasingly hard to come by, which is why we’re thrilled to add it to our menu. Its tart, green apple-like acidity, subtle stone fruit, and prodigious aroma make for a complete sensory experience.

For almost three decades, Raquel Lasso and her husband Carlos Alberto Belalcázar have cultivated coffee at La Bohemia. This perfect duo has won multiple Cup of Excellence Colombia awards, including first place in 2022 and fifth place in 2023. Carlos and Raquel work together meticulously on their six hectares that house some 10,000 coffee trees and a variety of vegetables in self-sufficient greenhouses. This lot is named after an "island" of pink bourbons that stands in isolation on their property. These trees stood out for the particular flavors their coffee produced: beautiful tropical flavors and subtle aromas, which earned them the name "borbon sutil."

Only ripe cherries were harvested, sorted by density, and sanitized. They were then fermented for 96 hours. After a final wash, they were sun-dried on raised beds for 25 days.
