{"title":"Coffees with a Bourbon Variety","description":"\u003cp\u003eBourbon is one of coffee's two foundational varieties, alongside Typica. Named after the island of Reunion (formerly Ile Bourbon) where it was first cultivated outside of Ethiopia, it's been shaping what coffee tastes like for centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the cup, Bourbon brings sweetness. Caramel, brown sugar, ripe fruit. There's a depth and roundness that lighter varieties don't always achieve. It's the variety that defines \"good coffee\" for a lot of people, even if they've never heard the word Bourbon applied to anything besides whiskey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBourbon is also the parent of many popular specialty varieties. Caturra, Catuai, SL28, SL34, and dozens of others all trace their genetics back to Bourbon. When you taste a great Bourbon lot, you're tasting the foundation that an entire industry was built on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- CURRENT LINEUP --\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur current Bourbon offerings include Florencio Villatoro's washed bourbon from Huehuetenango, Guatemala and Rodin Villatoro's natural-processed bourbon from the same region. Sambewe AMCOS's washed bourbon and heirloom blend from Tanzania shows how the variety expresses differently in East African terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"anny-ruth-yellow-honey-processed-red-bourbon-from-loma-la-gloria","title":"Anny Ruth • Yellow-Honey-Processed Red-Bourbon","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWe’ve been working with Anny Ruth and her family for as long as we have records here at Sagebrush, which is why with a heavy heart we say that this is the last lot of coffee we’ll be offering from her, as she is moving onto her next chapter of life and away from coffee production. This coffee is a great, clean cup with lots of traditional earthy tones.

Inherently, this pushed me away from Guatemalan coffees a bit, as the terroir and processing of at least Huehuetanango embraced the tradition of refined processing techniques. As my palates developed, I’ve grown to fall in love with what can come out of such coffees. Clarity isn’t talked much about in specialty coffee circles, as a lot of roasters like vibrant crazy blow-your-mind cups. But clarity… clarity is where it’s at. This cup from Rodin is the most clean, clear representation of a washed Guatemalan coffee (I’m being bold here) I think we’ve ever had. This just has the quintessential notes.
