BOURBON PIMIENTA - GRAN RESERVA by Oscar Hernandez

Tropical Indulgence with A Smooth, Vibrant Profile

Bourbon pimienta or  Bourbon Pepper variety, also known as Bourbon Aji, is a type of Arabica coffee characterized by its unique flavor and distinctive aromatic profile. It is a variety believed to have emerged as a natural mutation of the Bourbon variety and has been traditionally cultivated in the department of Huila, Colombia. Despite its name, it is not directly related to the original Bourbon variety, but is an Ethiopian landrace adapted to the local conditions of Huila.

Grand Reserva of Finca Los Nogales showcases the pinnacle of each varietal.  It is the selection of the best cherries from the peak of the varietal, where the aromatic potential of the cherry is at its peak.   It is the most exclusive offering of  Finca Los Nogales, representing just 10% of their production, celebrating both varietal and terroir

After fermentation, the beans are moved to a dark room with controlled
temperature and humidity for slow, even drying.
- This method minimizes exposure to light and prevents sudden
temperature changes, preserving delicate aromatic compounds.
- Drying happens gradually until the beans reach the ideal moisture level
for long-term stability and preservation.

Oscar Hernandez is renowned for his pioneering work with Typica decaffeinated coffee, earning him industry recognition.
