Our Apothecary Collection is comprised of four competition level coffees we bought from two young producers that Santiago met while in Colombia in the fall, Nestor Lasso and Jhoan Vergara. We selected these four coffees to compete with this year and have finally decided to release what we have left after competition season! These four coffees are truly exceptional.
Nestor and Jhoan are producers who are chemists in their own right- dedicated to producing delicious, high end coffees with innovative processing methods which enhance the flavour profiles and really showcase the attributes of the region and varietals.
Nestor Lasso is a creative producer who started out working in a bodega hauling bags of coffee to currently being one of the most cutting edge producers in Huila, Colombia.
Bourbon Sidra is unique and rare. It is the result of a crossbreeding between Bourbon and SL28. This natural Sidra has an anaerobic fermentation that is finished by a thermal shock before being FLAVOUR LOCKED for 38 hours and brought to a humidity of 10.5 %. FLAVOUR LOCK preserved tropical and floral notes from the varietal, fruity notes from the fermentation and natural sweetness created by the terroir.
“When I used this for competition, it blew my mind. It’s probably one of the best coffees that I have ever tasted since I started working in coffee”. -Santiago
