Edinson Argote Laurina
Laurina, a rare mutation of the Bourbon variety, is celebrated for its naturally low caffeine content, typically around half that of standard Arabica varieties. This distinctive trait gives Laurina a delicate, tea-like cup profile, making it highly sought after by coffee connoisseurs. Known also as Bourbon Laurina or Bourbon Pointu, its elegant flavour profile and unique bean shape set it apart from other coffees. The careful cultivation of Laurina is as distinctive as its profile, beginning with the harvesting of at least 90% ripe cherries to ensure optimal flavour.
The cherries undergo a meticulous process, starting with a floating stage to remove any unripe or overripe fruit. After this, the cherries undergo a controlled oxidation phase in food-grade plastic drums for 24 hours. The cherries are pulped dry, then washed with water at 50°C to create a thermal shock, enhancing flavour clarity. Following this, the coffee is fermented for 72 hours at temperatures below 25°C, using specific yeast strains to develop its unique character. After fermentation, the coffee is washed at 5°C to seal in the flavours before being dried mechanically for 48 hours at 38°C. Finally, the beans are stabilised in GrainPro-type bags, ensuring they maintain their freshness and quality.
