Andres Torre Ore has a 3 hectare farm he calls Muruhay in the village of San Juan Pueblo Libre. He’s planted Caturra and Bourbon that grows at 1550 masl. Bourbon is a tall growing heirloom variety that has relatively low production, shows a susceptibility to the many diseases, but has outstanding cup quality. Caturra is a dwarf mutation of Bourbon, which allows farmers to plant closer together and produces more fruit in less area. Andres is a dedicated farmer that produces high quality, but his relentless efforts add something special to his Specialty Coffee. This fruited profile zips and zings across your palate as the high toned fruits intently sing. A mix of apples come to mind; Granny Smith, McIntosh, Goldrush. Sweetness, florals, and a lemony twist, this takes us to refreshing moments of apple cider as a cinnamon spice starts to ground us from these highlights. That apple mix quickly gets dipped into an amber honey coating that forges the sweetness to a hard candy that remains present throughout. Falling into a hazelnut creme, the balance is found as the roundness of body is backlit with sweetness. This is a coffee hard to set down, so be ready to start brewing another round.
