Coffee varietals: Colombian Bourbon Aruzi varietal

Discovered in Inza, Cauca (Colombia), when a coffee tree was found to look very different from the typical coffee grown in the region, it presents strong similarities to the Bourbon Aruzi but it’s still being researched.

“This variety was discovered in Inza, Cauca when a coffee tree was found to look very different from the typical coffee grown in the region. This unknown variety had a higher yield and was more resistant. As a result, some farmers began to grow this variety. Subsequently, the seeds were studied by a laboratory in London which found that the genetics and structure were similar to the Ethiopian Bourbon Aruzi.”
