Citrus Harmony

Wilson & Finca La Aldea

Wilson Ordoñez is a third-generation coffee producer from Finca La Aldea in San Agustin, Huila, Colombia. Nurturing his family's legacy with incredible dedication, Wilson has earned numerous accolades, including first place in Top Roast Colombia 2023 for best exotic coffees. Among his prized offerings is the rare Orange Bourbon, an exceptional mutation renowned for its unparalleled flavor. Planted near a mountain and blessed by the natural waters of a nearby river and a cooling breeze, this coffee thrives in the perfect setting, possibly benefiting from cross-pollination with nearby fruit and vegetable plantations. During a 2023 visit to the farm, I was captivated by micro lot number six and its unique orange-hued cherries, recognizing its potential for our exceptional lineup.

This exquisite coffee undergoes a meticulous fermentation process, including 30 hours in cherry fermentation, 50 hours in anaerobic deep-pulp fermentation, and 90 hours of drying time, adding approximately 20 extra hours of fermentation that further enhance its complexity and depth of flavor. The remarkable Orange Bourbon variety delivers a tangerine pop with bright acidity, a silky, tea-like mouthfeel, delicate chamomile florals, tropical lychee and pineapple notes, and a ripe strawberry sweetness culminating in a creamy finish.
