Javier Quintero

Javier Quintero grows this delightful coffee at Buena Vista in Colombia, where patience and precision guide every step of the harvest. Cherries are picked only at peak ripeness, then floated and hand-sorted to make sure only the best fruit moves forward.

After picking, the coffee goes through a 30-hour underwater fermentation before being gently pulped and washed. From there, it’s dried under carefully controlled temperatures until it reaches the sweet spot. It’s a process that favours clarity, balance, and that classic washed-coffee charm we love.

What makes this coffee extra interesting is the variety itself. Bourbon Aruzi was first discovered nearby in Inzá, Cauca, when a single coffee tree stood out from the rest. With higher yields and better resilience, it caught farmers’ attention, and later lab testing traced its genetics back to Bourbon Aruzi varieties traditionally grown in Ethiopia. A little mystery, a lot of care, and a beautiful result in the cup!
