The Alarcón family operates a famously epic and expansive farm in Cajamarca called La Palestina, where the bros split up supervision of 7 parcels and contribute distinct farming/processing expertise as well. Anibal is Palestina’s Master of Fermentation (unofficial title), and his lot is 100% Bourbon.

Bourbon is one of the classic classic coffee varieties, and it’s absolute magic when grown under the right circumstances and processed with the right guidance. This is a perfect example of both, so what we’ve got is a luscious, round, red-fruit-meets-cola-meets-candy vibe that is simultaneously attention-grabbing and versatile. Truly a desert-island coffee, if we had to choose one.
