Producer info and cup notes: 

Luis Edgar Camacho's farm La Palma sits at 1,720masl in Palestina, Colombia. Luis originally began exporting through Caravella in 2014, but began working with LaREB through the recommendation of his friend Lizardo Herrera. This lot originally came to us marked as "Bourbon," drawing an immediate purchase decision on the cupping table as it leapt up from the rest with floral complexity and intense aromatics. As the release drew closer and we began test roasting this one, our friends and fellow LaREB fans at Scenery Coffee in the UK reached out to let us know they had sent some green beans to the RD2 Vision Lab for genetic testing. The coffee came back as "Fragrancia," a crossbreed of Sidra x Catimor. While I am typically highly skeptical of Sidra due to the frequency of the infamous "onion note," this hybridizing seems to have fully tamed the allium quality of its ancestry and truly highlighted the intense florality and acidity.  In the cup, we find a great deal of complex berry notes, ranging from blueberry to raspberry with many in between. All throughout the cup, there is a loud and expressive orange blossom floral that absolutely slaps you in the face, intense and aggressive aromatics highlight and elevate structured florals of jasmine, magnolia, and bergamot.
