[ 3 ] Story  

This variety Bourbon Aruzi was discovered in Inza, Cauca.

The farmer Javier saw a coffee tree that looked very different from the typical tree grown in the region. This unknown tree had a higher yield and was more resistant to disease.

He began to collect the seeds and decided to propagate this unique variety.

Later, the seeds were sent to a lab in London for further analysis. They found that the genetics and structure were similar to Bourbon Aruzi, a variety grown in Ethiopia.

Trouble Shooting

If the coffee tastes:
  • Too weak and dry finish ➞ Grind Finer
  • Too strong and sour ➞ Grind coarser
But keep the coffee to water ratio always the same.
