The third coffee this semester from the Monkaaba group in San Agustín, Huila is from Edil Quinayas. Pink bourbon variety.  Juicy acidity, balanced fruit and subtle, sencha-like umami notes both in the cup and on the nose.  (Umami on your nose).

Sourced from the high-altitude landscapes of San Agustín, Huila, this single-origin offering from producer Edil Quinayas showcases the classic profile of the Borbón varietal. Cultivated at 1800 masl, the cherries undergo a washed process, a technique often employed to highlight the inherent acidity and clean, crisp clarity of the bean. Bows & Arrows Coffee presents this lot with distinct notes of grapefruit, maraschino, and cannoli.

While washed coffees are frequently celebrated for their bright, structured acidity, the specific sensory experience of any cup is influenced by a complex interplay of terroir and post-harvest handling. To better understand how these specific descriptors align with broader industry standards, enthusiasts often consult the flavor wheel to categorize the nuanced aromatic compounds found in high-quality Colombian harvests. This particular selection serves as a refined example of the meticulous work currently emerging from the Huila department.
