{"title":"Bourbon","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe have a rare opportunity to taste the same coffee varietal expressed in two very different ways. Our Bourbon and Bourbon Natural come from the same lineage, the same roots, yet they offer distinctly different experiences in the cup.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFlavor in coffee is shaped by many things: the varietal itself, the land it’s grown on, the farmer’s choices, the weather, how the coffee is processed, how it’s roasted, and even how it’s brewed. When most of those variables stay consistent, processing becomes especially noticeable, which is why tasting these two side by side is so compelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur washed Bourbon is clean, structured, and classic. In washed processing, the fruit is removed from the coffee cherry before drying, allowing the character of the bean and the land to come through with clarity.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe Bourbon Natural, on the other hand, is dried with the fruit still intact. This process takes more time, space, and careful attention. Naturals are more labor-intensive and riskier to produce, but when done well, they reward us with a deeper sweetness and warmth. In this case, you’ll find notes that lean toward maple syrup, dates, and dulce de leche.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"bourbon-1","title":"Bourbon","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOpening\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWelcome in.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrewing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBourbon shines as a French Press.

He explained if he eliminates this plant he would be losing a coffee flavor profile missing in new varietals . He called this, “eslabon perdido” (missing link).
