Wilson Ordoñez is a third-generation producer in Huila, Colombia who specializes in exotic coffees, among them the rare Orange Bourbon: a Bourbon mutation with a captivating orange hue. This lot went through meticulous processing including 50 hours of anaerobic deep-pulp fermentation, enhancing its complexity and depth of flavor. We tasted tangerine water, orange Hi-C, cantaloupe, a sparkling acidity, a silky body, and a round sweetness.

Brew Recipe for Immigrant Culture Orange Bourbon
Using Stagg X Dripper
Ingredients:
22g of Orange Bourbon
300g of water
193°F
Steps
1. Measure and grind coffee at a medium-coarse setting
Measure out 22g of coffee beans and grind them on a medium setting. We used setting 6 on Ode with SSP Burr / 4.2 - 5 on Ode with Gen 2 Burrs, which is about 3.2 - 4 on Ode with Gen 1 Burrs. Suggested setting on Opus is between 5 and 5.2 - and note that the inner ring was set to +4 at 5.1 for us!
2. Heat water and rinse the filter
Heat water to 193°F and rinse your filter before putting your coffee grounds in.
3. Pour 50g water for the bloom
Fully saturate your coffee grounds with 50g of water, and allow 45 seconds for the bloom. Give 2-3 gentle swirls after your first pour to make sure everything is soaking.
4. Continue pouring in four stages
After the bloom, pour to 200g; then when the water is approximately 0.5 in above the bed of grounds, agitate with 5 gentle swirls, then pour to 250g; once water drains halfway, agitate with 5 gentle swirls, then pour to 300g. The total brew time varies, but we’re aiming for between 2:55 - 3:30 minutes.
5. Decant into your favorite mug and enjoy!
Look out for the incredible flavors of orange hi-c, cantaloupe, tangerine, and lingering sweetness.
