Red Bourbon.

A crowd favourite, the Red Bourbon is known for its sweet and full-bodied characteristics. CGLE elected to develop this as a honey-processed coffee to further enhance the sweetness, the result of which is one of the sweetest Red Bourbons we have tasted in a long while.

Yellow Bourbon.

A natural mutation of the Red Bourbon, the coffee cherries of this varietal are yellow when fully ripe. True to its bourbon ancestry, the Yellow Bourbon has sweet and full-bodied characteristics, while distinguishing itself with a prominent citric acidity.

Tabi.

Tabi means ‘good’ in Guambiano, the dialect of a native Colombian tribe. This varietal was discovered by Cenicafe in Colombia through cross breeding of the Typica, Bourbon and Timor Hybrid varietals. The Tabi possesses distinctive characteristics of Typica (acidity) and Bourbon (sweetness) and Timor Hybrid (disease resistance and good yield).

Sudan Rume Washed.

Sudan Rume was discovered in 1940, in the wilderness of the Boma Plateau in Sudan, near the border of Ethiopia. It is a well loved coffee varietal among many fellow home brewers because of its unique and distinct profile of soft, ripe fruit, accompanied by a deep sweetness.

Mokka.

The Mokka is an age-old variety of coffee originating in Yemen, with tiny coffee beans jam-packed with fruity and chocolatey notes. As it requires very specific conditions to thrive, it is grown in only one of CGLE’s farms, Finca Hawaii, where the climate, altitude, and soil conditions are perfect for growth.

Laurina.

Also known as the Bourbon Pointu, Laurina is a Bourbon mutation that originates in France’s Reunion Islands. The small, long, and pointy coffee beans make it distinct from all other beans. Compared to other arabica varietals, the Laurina contains less caffeine, which translates into a sweet, easygoing cup of coffee with bitterness that is little-to-none.

Pink Bourbon.

Also commonly referred to as the Orange Bourbon, this varietal is a hybrid of Red and Yellow Bourbon. The combination of recessive genes gives rise to a pinkish peach coloured coffee cherry when ripe, which unfortunately makes this coffee difficult to produce with consistency. The Pink Bourbons that we have tasted are usually exceptionally sweet with a complex cup profile.

Mandela.

A unique undertaking by CGLE, the Mandela varietal was developed via a cross hybridization of Caturra with Timor Hybrid to develop resistance to coffee rust as well as various Ethiopian varietals, including Sudan Rume, Daleco and Villa Sarchi.

Sidra.

Originating from a large Ecuadorian research farm funded by Nestlé, whose sole aim was to create high quality cup profiles in coffee, the Sidra is a hybrid of Red Bourbon and Typica. Sometimes also known as the Bourbon Sidra, the coffee combines the best from both of its ancestries, possessing the sweetness and the body of the Red Bourbon, and the bright taste and acidity of the Typica.

San Juan.

A unique variety created by CGLE, the San Juan is a cross of Bourbon and Pacamara varietals.

This coffee gives an experience of a rich sweetness and body, coupled with complex acidity.

Gesha.

The Gesha is universally renowned for its delicate jasmine florals and citronella in a tea-like cup profile. This particular coffee, from the Cerro Azul farm, is a multi-award winning coffee, and by far one of the best Gesha we have ever tasted. With CGLE’s unique processing methods (XO and Napoleon), the sensory experience of this coffee is elevated to an out-of-this-world journey of flavours.

The Colombia is a hybrid of Caturra and Timor Hybrid developed by Cenicafe in Colombia. Developed in 1982, right before the country’s first coffee leaf rust outbreak, it provided a high-yielding, disease resistant crop for farmers to combat the crisis. The coffee is named Tres Dragones, or three dragons, after the resemblance of the three mechanical dryers in Potosi to the heads of three dragons when fired up to dry the coffees.
