A fruity natural that at the same time allows tastes like a classic Central American washed bourbon with a buoyant acidity  and toasted almond notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coffee also makes for a great espresso where it shows a syrupy cherry-like flavor and lemon as a straight shot which softens to orange and caramel with milk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Orange Bourbon\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The Bourbon variety is one of the two major cultivated varieties from which most coffee growing around the world today descends (The other being Typica) \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1718 seeds from Yemen were brought to the French colony on Reunion Island near Madagascar, The called Bourbon Island after the French House of Bourbon which ruled France at the time. Around 1860 plants from Reunion were brought to mainland Africa and to Brazil. The coffee depended from these plants came to be known as the Bourbon variety after the name of the island at that time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBourbon can still be found fairly commonly in Africa, Brazil, and some countries in Central America such as Guatemala and El Salvador.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bourbon variety usually produces red fruit, but mutations have ocurred where the fruit color is yellow. There is a cultivated variety called Yellow Bourbon which is rarer but still not too uncommon which resulted from a natural cross of Red Bourbon and a Yellow fruited Typica plant called Yellow de Botucatu in Brazil in 1930 and was released commercially to growers in the early 1950's. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd then there is Orange Bourbon, the origins of which are more murky. Any time there are red and yellow fruited trees in the same field it is possible to get some plants of an intermediary orange color or pink color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a cultivated variety Orange bourbon is exceedingly rare. Occasionally grown still on a handful of farms in El Salvador it is from there that the Mierisch family acquired seeds of the variety to plant on their farms in Nicaragua and Honduras. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrange bourbon has a cup profile in between red and yellow bourbon. It has the well balanced sweet cup of red bourbon, but a more delicate flavor profile of caramel and citrus that is more like yellow bourbon. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Finca La  Alita\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInformation from farm owner Erwin Mierisch\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Our Orange Bourbon seed stock comes from Nicaragua, more specifically from my\u003cbr\u003euncle’s farm, El Suspiro. My uncle, Alejandro Saldaña, who is originally from El\u003cbr\u003eSalvador obtained his seeds from his home country, from the renowned Malacara\u003cbr\u003eproducers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy father, Erwin J. Mierisch, was head judge for COE in Honduras in 2011 and he\u003cbr\u003esaw great potential in Honduran coffee. At the time Honduran coffee wasn’t\u003cbr\u003eperceived or noticed for high-quality. The story on how we learned about Cerro\u003cbr\u003eAzul is the following: After the Honduran COE my dad attended SCAE in 2011.\u003cbr\u003eThere he and Stephen Leighton of Has Bean UK were talking about the great\u003cbr\u003epotential of Honduran coffee. Stephen jokingly said, “why do you just buy a coffee\u003cbr\u003efarm in Honduras?” As luck would have it, later that night, an UTZ inspector came\u003cbr\u003eup to them and mentioned he had accidentally overheard their conversation and\u003cbr\u003esaid he knew a producer in Honduras that was selling his farm. That farm was\u003cbr\u003eCerro Azul. The rest is history.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey later purchased the neighboring farm Santa Lucia, and the farm directly below that one called Lalita.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"La Alita (we changed it from Lalita as the family are Hendrix fans, as it means \"Little Wing\")  is actually located right behind Santa Lucia, and it sits at 1450-1550masl. It was first planted in 2014 when we bought it, and planted Orange Bourbon, Ethiosar, and Red Catuai.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur natural lot was dried for 27 days total, 4 days on raised beds under 100% sunlight and moved every hour. It's then transported to raised beds inside our greenhouse under 50% shade for the other 23 days, moved 3 to 4 times in a day, until it reached 11% humidity. It's was then moved to the warehouse where it was allowed to rest for a month as whole dried cherry in order for the humidity to homogenize amongst all the beans. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paradise Coffee","offers":[{"title":"12oz \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":39535499313257,"sku":"honduras-orange-bourbon-nat","price":980.19,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":false},{"title":"12oz \/ Auto Drip","offer_id":40235931435113,"sku":"honduras-orange-bourbon-nat-AD","price":980.19,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":false},{"title":"12oz \/ French Press","offer_id":40235931467881,"sku":"honduras-orange-bourbon-nat-FP","price":980.19,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5lb \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":40235931500649,"sku":"honduras-orange-bourbon-nat-5","price":5881.11,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":false},{"title":"6oz \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":40331360600169,"sku":"honduras-orange-bourbon-nat-6","price":980.19,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":false},{"title":"6oz \/ Auto Drip","offer_id":40331361321065,"sku":"honduras-orange-bourbon-nat-6-AD","price":980.19,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":false},{"title":"6oz \/ French Press","offer_id":40331362402409,"sku":"honduras-orange-bourbon-nat-6-FP","price":980.19,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1403\/7057\/products\/orange_bourbon.jpg?v=1626126210","url":"https:\/\/paradiseroasters.com\/zh-tw\/products\/orange-bourbon-duo","provider":"Paradise Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
