2026 William Ortiz; La Cabaña, Aji - Colombia

William Ortiz has produced some of our favorite coffees this season, and we are pleased to be working with this Aji separation for the first time. We have released only a handful of Aji lots over the years, and look forward to continuing this exploration. In the cup we find rose, açaí, and ripe raspberry.

The 2026 William Ortiz, sourced from the La Cabaña farm in Colombia, represents a distinct offering from producer William Ortiz. This lot features the Aji varietal, a coffee cultivar that contributes to the specific profile curated by Sey Coffee. When evaluating such unique selections, enthusiasts often look to the flavor wheel to categorize the complex interplay of aromatics and acidity.

In this instance, the roaster identifies notes of rose, açaí, and ripe raspberry. While individual experiences with these profiles can vary based on brewing parameters, the presence of floral and berry-forward characteristics is often a hallmark of carefully processed lots from this region. By focusing on the specific contributions of the Aji varietal and the meticulous work of William Ortiz, this coffee offers a clear expression of its origin, inviting a deeper exploration of how terroir and plant genetics shape the final cup.
