Bourbon

Opening

Welcome in. Some coffees remind us why traditions are worth preserving. Bourbon is one of them.

The Proof

This washed Bourbon is grown by Sidartha Moses and his family at Finca La Pila in Apaneca, El Salvador, at an elevation of 1500 meters. This coffee is grown in a coffee garden, making it a nano lot, located behind their family home.

The Cup

Washed processing reveals the true character of Bourbon with remarkable clarity. Notes of marzipan, chocolate, and cinnamon create a cup that is balanced and delivers a classic coffee profile.

The Story

While many Bourbon trees across Central America were replaced after coffee leaf rust devastated the region, Sid and his family chose to trust the land and preserve theirs. Today, those same trees continue to produce a flavor that is hard to find in newer coffee varietals. Bonito began with a small batch of coffee that Sid carried by airplane from his family’s farm. Together, they helped export the family’s coffee for the first time. Every harvest is a reminder that some of the best coffees are made patiently, over time.

Brewing

Bourbon shines as a French Press. Pour-over or Aeropress will bring out the brightness. This Bourbon is an everyday coffee that always feels satisfying, for those who appreciate traditional coffee varieties
