Roaster Note
Produced by the renowned Lima family in the Santa Ana region, this washed Red Bourbon offers a classic and transparent profile. Expect a cup defined by its structured sweetness and clear fruit notes, particularly red apple and vibrant yellow fruits. The careful, traditional washing process and sun-drying on patios for two to three weeks result in a coffee that is exceptionally consistent. It serves as a versatile selection—refreshing and bright as a filter brew, while maintaining a smooth, "dolce" sweetness that pairs perfectly with milk.
Bean Info
Finca Lima represents over a century of coffee-growing expertise by the Lima family, situated on the volcanic slopes near the Santa Ana Volcano. Rather than a single estate, the name serves as an umbrella for multiple family-run farms focused on quality and long-term land stewardship. These coffees are grown under native shade trees at high elevations, which creates a stable microclimate and allows cherries to ripen slowly. This slower maturation, combined with the nutrient-rich volcanic soil, contributes to the excellent bean density and balanced acidity found in this 2025 crop.
