About this variety

Often vivid and aromatic, with citrus, red fruit, floral or tea-like notes and a sweet finish. Roaster descriptions range from orange blossom and golden kiwi to redcurrant, grape, cocoa and caramel, so processing and producer choices remain important.

Why this one is different
  • Colombia
  • Huila
  • 1900 masl
  • Honey

Colombian Aji can show bright citrus, florals and red fruit alongside tea, cocoa or caramel sweetness. Roaster descriptions vary from clean washed expressions to fruitier natural processing, so the individual coffee's tasting notes are the best guide to intensity.

Honey or pulped-natural processing often adds roundness and sweetness while keeping some of the fruit definition of a washed coffee.

A little background

Aji is currently associated especially with Huila, Colombia, where the name was adopted locally and the cultivar is still being documented.

Identification note Aji is still being documented and should not be presented as a Bourbon variety despite the common Bourbon Aji name.

Classification Reported Ethiopian landrace-related cultivar

Technical lineage Reviewed genetic reporting places Aji with Ethiopian landrace-related material rather than Bourbon.

Variety is a guide, not a flavour guarantee. Lot notes are more specific.
