Julep

This exceptional lot was produced by Edinson Argote on his farm, Quebraditas. Bourbon Ají — named for its aromatic resemblance to chilli pepper (ají in Spanish) — is a recently identified variety discovered in Colombia and believed to trace back to an Ethiopian landrace. Following a carefully controlled fermentation with wine yeast inoculation, it produces an intensely aromatic and layered cup, with cardamom on the nose, notes of passionfruit and citrus, and a cooling finish reminiscent of a mint julep.
