this is a natural-processed bourbon varietal from the huila region of colombia, sourced by qima cafe from rio bamisa. natural processing means the coffee fruit dries around the seed, which typically pushes fruit-forward sweetness and body into the cup. huila is one of colombia's most respected coffee-growing departments, known for high-altitude farms and pronounced acidity. because it's a natural bourbon, expect a fuller mouthfeel alongside whatever sweetness and brightness the varietal brings. it suits filter methods that let those fruit and sugar characteristics come through cleanly, so a pour-over or filter setup at a medium-light roast level is a good starting point.
