Guatemala Antigua - Retana Red Bourbon

NEW at caffe d'bolla -- Guatemala Antigua -Retana Red Bourbon.

Finca Retana is a very traditional farm in central Antigua situated at 1550 meters on the valley floor. They have a small portion planted in Yellow Bourbon cultivar, but this year we're offering their Red Bourbon coffee. Bourbon coffees are named after an island in the India Ocean, now called Reunion. Bourbon coffees tend to ripen earlier than other cultivars, and have a balanced flavor profile with moderate acidity when cupped with other types planted in the same spot.

Fuji apple, Asian pear, apricot, and plum, with a malty sweet body and toffee as it cools. Sweet and snappy!
