Tasting Notes: Hibiscus, Yellow Plum, Dried Cranberry

A vibrant and beautifully structured Bourbon Aji from the highlands of Huila. Bright floral notes of hibiscus lead the cup, followed by juicy yellow plum and the gentle tartness of dried cranberry. The washed process preserves clarity and precision, creating a profile that feels crisp, expressive, and remarkably clean from first sip to finish. Elegant and fruit-driven, this is a coffee that showcases both the character of the variety and the care behind its production.
Roaster's Description
For more than 25 years, Gerson Mora has dedicated himself to cultivating coffee at Finca Villa Pastora, an eight-hectare farm located in the vereda of Sinaí, Huila. What began as a family inheritance has evolved into a carefully managed farm focused on quality, sustainability, and long-term stewardship of the land.
Working alongside his wife and children, Gerson cultivates several coffee varieties, including Bourbon Aji and Bourbon Rosado, while maintaining a diverse ecosystem of native trees and local wildlife. His farming philosophy emphasizes environmental responsibility and avoids the use of chemical inputs whenever possible.
Careful fermentation plays an important role in Gerson's approach. By extending and refining fermentation times, he seeks to build structure, clarity, and complexity within each lot. Beyond his own farm, he actively supports neighboring producers by sharing knowledge and best practices, helping strengthen coffee quality throughout the region.
Bourbon Aji is a rare and highly sought-after Colombian variety known for its vibrant fruit character, floral aromatics, and remarkable sweetness. Though genetically linked to the Bourbon family, it stands apart for its distinctive cup profile, often displaying tropical and floral characteristics rarely found in more traditional Bourbon selections.

Brew It Right
All coffees are sold exclusively as whole beans.
Grinding just before brewing preserves aromatics, structure, and clarity in the cup. For that reason, JONNY does not offer pre-ground coffee.
If you don’t yet own a grinder, consider this your sign. A proper grinder will elevate your coffee more than almost any other tool. (You’ll find a curated selection of hand grinders here.)
In the meantime, make friends with your local barista and ask them to grind the beans for your preferred brew method. They’ll understand.
Roast Date & Freshness
More
Less
Freshness, With Intention
Every coffee lists its roast date. I am committed to offering beans at their optimal drinking window. Freshly roasted coffee needs time to rest:
• Filter coffee is typically best starting 7 days after roast.
• Espresso benefits from 10–14 days of rest for balance and stability.
Coffee remains vibrant for several months when stored properly, but for peak clarity and sweetness, I recommend enjoying it within 4 months of the roast date. To maintain high standards:
• Coffees that reach 6 weeks from roast are offered at a reduced price.
• Coffees that reach 12 weeks from roast are removed from inventory.
This ensures that what arrives at your door reflects the level of quality I stand behind.
