wilton benitez red bourbon is a single-producer colombian coffee grown in the cauca region, made from the bourbon varietal. the cup delivers red apple and stone fruit character, leaning toward clean, fruit-forward sweetness rather than heavy body or roast depth. because no processing method or roast level was specified, treat it as a delicate origin worth brewing with precision. a filter method, pour-over or batch brew, will let the fruit clarity come through without muddying the flavors. keep water temperature around 90-93°c and aim for a moderate grind to avoid extracting bitterness that would compete with the apple and stone fruit.
