From the roaster

Jaguarundi is cultivated on the warm slopes of northern Huila, named after the local wild cat - Jaguarundi, known for its agility and adaptability. The actual lot is a culmination of several smallholders in the local region who grow their cherry on their land before picking and drying with the whole fruit intact. The warm days and cooler nights allow for slow drying of the fruit, that allows for more sugars and tropical notes to develop into the final cup profile. The resulting coffee is sweet and intense, with bold fruit flavours, ideal for all drinking experiences.

Context

The Jaguarundi, sourced from the Huila region of Colombia, represents a distinct expression of the country’s diverse coffee landscape. Produced by Bonanza Coffee Roasters, this selection utilizes a natural processing method. While washed coffees are traditional in this region, natural-processed coffees often undergo a unique drying phase that can significantly influence the final cup profile by allowing the fruit to interact with the bean during fermentation. To better understand how these processing methods impact the final sensory experience, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel as a guide for identifying specific nuances. By focusing on the interplay between the Huila terroir and the natural drying technique, this coffee offers a compelling look at how post-harvest handling can reshape the character of a classic Colombian origin.
