From the roaster

Café Granja’s exacting processing approach applied to the Pink Bourbon varietal leads to crisp tropical notes.

La Cabra

Context

La Cabra is a Danish roaster known for meticulous sourcing and a preference for clean, expressive lots. This coffee comes from the Potosi region and is produced by Café Granja, processed using the washed method — a technique that strips away the fruit before drying, generally allowing the bean's inherent varietal character to take center stage with greater clarity and precision.

The Pink Bourbon varietal is generating significant attention across the specialty world; it is widely regarded as producing cups with distinctive aromatic complexity, and washed preparations in particular tend to highlight its nuanced, sometimes fruit-forward qualities. La Cabra's single tasting note of "tropical" gestures toward that brightness — a useful anchor on the flavor wheel spanning everything from passionfruit to guava — inviting the drinker to explore rather than prescribing an exact experience.
