Jesus Arbey

This one comes from Finca El Placer in Acevedo, Huila, owned and run by Jesus Arbey Iquira. He's spent years refining his processing methods to get unique, standout profiles out of his lots, and this Pink Bourbon natural is exactly that kind of result. It's a Variety Select lot, meaning it's built around one standout varietal rather than a general regional blend, and it comes with genuine farm-level traceability.

A natural process done with real care, ripe cherries hand or float sorted, then dried slowly on raised beds, which is exactly where that jammy fruit and velvety body come from.

Yes. This one's roasted specifically for filter brewing so you get the fruit and sweetness without it turning heavy or muddy. V60, Kalita, batch brew, Aeropress or a gentle plunger, that's where it's meant to live.

What makes it a "natural" and why does that matter here?

The ripest cherries are picked, sorted, then dried whole on raised beds instead of being pulped and washed first. That extended contact with the fruit is what gives you the jammy cranberry and cherry character instead of a cleaner, more citrus-forward cup. It's a slower, more hands-on process, and it shows.

It's a rarer varietal that's built a reputation for producing bigger, more complex fruit character than standard Bourbon. Combined with Jesus's natural process, it's what pushes this one toward that cherry velvet, cocoa nib depth rather than something flatter.

Won't a jammy, fruity coffee taste too much like juice?

No, the cocoa nibs keep it grounded. Think ripe cranberry and cherry up front, but with a chocolatey backbone running underneath so it still drinks like coffee, not cordial.

Jammy cranberry up front, a velvety cherry body through the middle, and cocoa nibs on the finish that keep it rich rather than sharp. Fruit-forward but balanced, and genuinely moreish black.

So you get your coffee FAST!
