Last year, we ordered a coffee from A Matter Of Concrete, a roaster we have a ton of respect for in Rotterdam. We ordered a pink bourbon advanced process and it dunked on everything we thought we knew about the bourbon variety – we ended up buying more for our shop AND personal collection. Pretty much since then we've been chasing that high. Until now, that is. This orange bourbon has blown away our beliefs of what's possible from a bourbon lot once more and to a higher degree. Milky, not fermenty, crystal clear sweetness, incredibly nuanced and beautiful fruity acidity. Goodness, this is going to be a love letter to this coffee – brace yourself.

When we talk to you about the coffee of tomorrow, we are specifically talking about producers and ourselves crafting the coffee experiences of tomorrow. Every coffee we offer you at Promethium is a window into what we believe will be the processing and experience most popular tomorrow. The primary decider of this is the farmers and processors developing tasteful processing over exceptionally grown crop – then passing off to us to roast it in a way favored by the industry folks of tomorrow – i.e. you! This orange bourbon is a fitting example. The bourbon variety in all its shapes and forms is so engaging and it requires a great amount of discipline and knowledge to grow to its full potential. The team at Finca La Floresta have mastered the variety, and the bourbon variety alone in today’s terms is beloved, but with tasteful processing and methodical roasting techniques, the variety can get launched into the stratosphere of infinite possibilities. That is what Promethium is into as roasters. Combining our knowledge and skill with forward-thinking farmers and their timeless abilities to bring engaging, otherworldly experiences from the earth. The result is coffee like Bourbon Bomb. Deliciously sweet, fruit bomb, and milky cake-like aromas and textures. This coffee underwent a simple extended anaerobic fermentation straight up in its plastic bags, then received a plain wash and very long manual drying phase. We attribute this coffee's crystal clear fruit sweetness to its washing and extended drying combo and its milky and fruity body to its fermentation. Engaging crop, tasteful processing, skilled roasting. What a beautiful industry we get to exist in as consumers and enthusiasts alike. If you want to understand what Promethium is about, a sip of this coffee brewed well will show you.
With love,
– Promethium Team
