Aroma Nativo RY 491 HH, Filter - Colombia

This lot features carefully selected, fully ripe Striped Bourbon cherries, a rare traditional mutation of Bourbon distinguished by its red skin with orange stripes. The variety is known for its fruit-forward character, floral elegance and vibrant complexity.

The cherries undergo controlled anaerobic fermentation before being pulped and partially dried to reach the desired moisture level. The coffee is then rehydrated in fermentation tanks with selected yeasts and bacteria before returning to raised drying beds for a further 11 days of sun-drying. A two-month stabilisation period under controlled temperature conditions allows the coffee to rest before export, supporting quality preservation.

This coffee is produced through Veci, a collaborative project launched by Luis Marcelino, founder of Aroma Nativo. Building on four years of connecting Colombian coffee producers with roasters around the world, the project brings together producers with strong agronomic practices who lack the infrastructure or space to process their own coffee. Aroma Nativo provides the processing facilities and technical expertise across southern Huila and Quindío, creating opportunities for producers to develop distinctive lots and access specialty coffee markets.
