      Pluma Hidalgo Village - Red Bourbon lot 4 [washed] — Mexico

      This lot was grown by small-holder farmers in the village of Pluma Hidalgo, located in Sierra Madre del Sur, Oaxaca. The village is high in the mountains surrounded by rain-forest. Coffee is the main crop here, most villagers have some trees growing on their property. This lot was processed by the washed process, on the same day the cherries are harvested, they're sorted for over/under-ripe cherries, de-pulped dry fermented, washed & then spread out to dry on raised beds.

      Bourbon is a natural mutation of Typica originating from La Réunion {until 1848 known as Île Bourbon}. The coffee was planted in 1708 by the French who acquired seeds from the Dutch, who in turn acquired them from Yemen. Colour of the cherries is  due to a recessive gene, they can be either pink, yellow, orange or like this offering, red when ripe. Bourbon is 1/3rd more productive than Typica.
