Bourbon Natural

$30

A nuanced and sweet Colombian coffee by Unity, previously featured on Fellow Drops!

$30

Overview

We previously selected this coffee for our super-curated Fellow Drops program and are delighted to share it again here. Unity has worked with Colombian producer Rodrigo Palaez for 7 years, after falling in love with his outstanding natural process coffees. Rodrigo takes creative measures to dry coffees in the humid environment of Caldas, machine drying 12 hours on and 12 hours off to mimic the cycles of the sun, resulting in a strikingly unique profile. We tasted Pink Lady apples, strawberry, grape, and chamomile: a nuanced and sweet, tea-like delight.

Fellow's Unique Selection Process

Every coffee we share has been tasted and recommended by our expert Tasting Panel who have years of experience in specialty coffee. We cast a wide net, trying hundreds of coffees, keeping an open mind to new regions, processes, and roasters, and going through many rounds of cupping. If there was an easier way of choosing each coffee, we wouldn’t want to do it.
