What Kaffi says about this coffee
La Soledad is the farm of Mario Gomez in Pitalito, Huila He produces coffee of various processing methods and varieties and is able to separate microlots based on the varieties he grows via selective picking.
This coffee is of the variety known as Bourbon Aji, which continues a trend in Colombia of new varietals being named "bourbon" which has nothing to do with the Bourbon variety. Let me explain. Similarly to Pink Bourbon, Papayo, Bourbon Sidra and Tabi, Bourbon Aji is actually more closely related to Ethiopian landraces, or Heirloom (basically a catch-all term for wild coffee varietals.) The use of the term bourbon is probably related to the fact that the Bourbon variety is very popular and closely tied to coffee from Colombia. In other words, it's just for good PR.
That being said, the Aji varietal is incredibly tasty. Similar to the gesha-variety (also natively from Ethiopia) it has lots of citrus fruit aroma, florals and complex flavours. This is a washed lot which lets us experience the Aji-varietal without any interference from processing.
Mario does a very good job at La Soledad and is a great curator of various coffee varietals. His family also owns their own exporting…

What the roaster says about where it came from
We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.
How it sits among coffee from Ethiopia
Kaffi describe this coffee as citrus, floral. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Ethiopia; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.
Every family the roaster names is a common one for coffee from Ethiopia, so this reads as a typical example rather than an outlier.

A further 1 fact on this page was read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for it.
Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
