Bourbon Aji Lavado

Have you ever tasted Bourbon Aji?
Recently discovered in the south of Huila, this unique variety surprises many: despite its name, genetic testing confirms it’s not a Bourbon mutation, but an Ethiopian landrace. It earned the nickname “Bourbon Aji” because its mucilage gives off a subtle peppery aroma and flavor, reminiscent of red pepper ( ají ).

The result is a vibrant, sweet, and fruity cup with floral and spicy notes, often described as having red fruit and jasmine characteristics, accented by a gentle, peppery twist.
