RED BOURBON NATURAL — GAYO, ACEH

Almost every modern Arabica variety has Bourbon somewhere in its lineage.

Bourbon itself rarely survives in smallholder farms for one unromantic reason: it produces lower yields than the Catimor descendants that dominate coffee farming today, and its trees require more attention. Farmers who continue to cultivate it are often not chasing volume, but flavor, because Bourbon is known for its rounded sweetness.

This lot is Red Bourbon from Batin Baru, Bener Meriah, grown at an altitude of 1,600 meters above sea level and processed using the natural method.

Whole coffee cherries are dried with the beans still inside, giving the fruit sugars and aromatic compounds time to develop and influence the beans throughout drying.

Our potential notes point toward sparkling grape, chocoberries, and jackfruit.

For coffee shops whose single-origin menus are already filled with Catimor and Ateng, this Aceh Bourbon green bean brings a different name to your menu board.

A classic variety. A distinctive expression of Gayo. A new story for your single-origin menu.

TRIPLE-PICK QUALITY ASSURANCE

Why Is Our Green Bean Quality More Transparent?

Most marketplace sellers claim Grade 1 quality based on a single pass through a coarse mechanical sorting machine.

At Coffest Roastery, we implement three stages of physical sorting and refinement:

1. Suton Machine

Removes foreign materials such as stones, twigs, dust, broken beans, and residual husks that make it through earlier processing stages.

2. Optical Sorting Machine (SORTEX)

Uses modern optical sensor technology to eject black beans, sour beans, and beans with defects caused by insect damage.

3. Hand Sorting (Manual Pick)

Our expert team performs the final manual inspection to remove fungus-damaged beans and bring the defect count as close to zero as possible.

Drying is carried out using indirect sunlight through a greenhouse-effect technique to preserve optimal flavor potential.
