Catalan 'Red Bourbon' - Guatemala

We never miss a season of Nico's Red Bourbon. The exceptional sorting and processing come through in every cup — refined, reliable, and a cornerstone of our Catalan relationship.

A true medium roast, its stone fruit sweetness and silky finish make it easy to enjoy as a morning espresso or afternoon pour over. Like running into an old friend, and familiar in the best possible way.

Guatemala's volcanic soils and high-altitude regions have long produced coffees with distinctive sweetness and body. Red Bourbon, a classic varietal descended from the original Bourbon line, thrives in these conditions and is prized for its balanced fruit-forward character. This lot from producer Nico showcases that potential through Pilot Coffee Roasters' roast, which emphasizes stone fruit sweetness and a silky mouthfeel. The combination of varietal and origin creates a coffee that leans toward approachable sweetness rather than bright acidity, making it a reliable choice for those seeking smooth, fruit-driven complexity.
