Here we are, presenting yet another lovely washed coffee from Paola Trujillo, this one being her SL28; the difference between every lot that we have gotten from her is truly remarkable, from sidra to pink bourbon to wush wush, each truly stands on its own. For each, the terroir remains the exact same, as does the process, meaning the difference you taste in the cup is 100% variety—something we find invigorating to be sure. When sipping on this lot, there’s a definite wave of red currant and peach gummy fruitiness that washes over the palette, as well as bright and seasonal persimmon, which enlivens the cup beautifully.
Paola’s family farm, Patio Bonito, located at 1.700 masl in the coastal region of Cauca, Colombia, has been in the Trujillo family for two generations. It was founded by her father, Carlos Trujillo, who has begin ceding increasing authority over the farm over to his daughters, Paola and Patricia, who have been learning the art of coffee cultivation garnered from Carlos’ 40+ years of experience as a coffee farmer and agroforestry engineer. Patio Bonito is comprised of 9 hectares, planted with over 45.000 coffee trees of varying varietals, such as castillo, typica, colombia, pink bourbon, sidra, wush wush, SL28, geisha, and aji.
SL28 is perhaps the most lauded common African cultivar for its quality and strong drought resistance. It is a cultivar of the bourbon genetic group which was first released by Scott Agricultural Laboratories in 1935 in Kabete, Kenya. It quickly became dominant throughout Kenya and has now spread beyond East Africa to Central and South America, due to its high potential for quality.
All coffee is sold whole-bean to reduce oxidation, and increase the longevity of volatile organic compounds.
