La Piragua Striped Red Bourbon – Alexander Vargas

This beautifully expressive coffee comes from producer Alexander Vargas at Finca La Piragua, located in the rich, high-elevation soils of Colombia. Grown at 1,750 meters, this Striped Red Bourbon—a rare and visually stunning mutation of the Bourbon variety—undergoes a meticulous natural process that highlights its vibrant fruit character and deep sweetness.

The cherries are hand-selected at peak ripeness and slowly dried with the fruit intact, allowing natural sugars to fully develop and infuse the bean with complexity. The result is a cup bursting with red grape juiciness, plum-like depth, and a smooth, nougat finish that brings balance and warmth.

Roasted light to preserve clarity and nuance, this coffee shines across filter methods and delivers a dynamic yet comforting experience in the cup. It’s a reflection of Alexander Vargas’s dedication to quality and his farm’s unique varietal expression.

The La Piragua Natural Striped Red Bourbon is a standout selection—memorable for both its flavor and its rarity—and a must-try for those who seek coffees with elegance, story, and soul.
