Huila / Colombia

Origin: Quebraditas Edinson Argote

Process: Double Anaerobic Washed, Yeast Inoculation + Thermal Shock

Varietal: Orange Bourbon

Notes: Papaya / Peach / Mandarin

Produced by Edinson Argote in the Huila region of Colombia, this Unearthed Vol 3 release from Coaltown Coffee showcases the distinct profile of the Orange Bourbon varietal. The coffee undergoes a complex double anaerobic washed process, incorporating both yeast inoculation and thermal shock. These advanced processing methods are often employed to manipulate the cellular structure of the bean, frequently resulting in heightened acidity and intensified fruit-forward characteristics.

While Orange Bourbon is recognized for its inherent sweetness, the specific application of anaerobic fermentation can further amplify these traits. In this instance, the roaster identifies notes of papaya, peach, and mandarin. When evaluating such vibrant profiles, referencing a flavor wheel can be a helpful tool for identifying the nuanced layers of stone fruit and citrus that define this particular lot. This combination of meticulous cultivation and experimental processing highlights the evolving landscape of specialty coffee production in Huila.
