This coffee is produced by Juan Peña at Hacienda La Papaya in Saraguro, Loja, Ecuador. It is a Sidra variety, a hybrid of Bourbon and Typica, processed using the natural method. The flavor profile is characterized by floral notes, rich chocolate, and a juicy pink starburst cordial quality. This coffee offers the dense sugars and body of a Red Bourbon combined with the acidity of a Typica, resulting in sweet, floral qualities and crisp, malic acidity. It is suitable for both filter and espresso brewing methods.
With roots in both Chicago and Istanbul, Four Letter Word was founded by a team with a background in design and a deep love for coffee's communal power. Their approach is minimalist and quality-driven, focusing on building strong, direct relationships with a select few producers each year. They roast with the intention of showcasing the pure, unadulterated flavor of the bean, letting the coffee speak for itself.
