Wilton Benitez's Orange Bourbon is floral and zingy like bergamot, with an apricot tang and a shortbread creaminess. Bright and intricate in equal measure, Orange Bourbon brings to life Wilton's dedication to the process.

Wilton Benitez is a highly specialised coffee producer, with a lifetime of experience in cultivating exotic and sought-after coffee. Wilton's ‘advanced processing’ method focuses heavily on controlled pH levels, temperature regulation and the use of particular yeast strains during fermentation – techniques borrowed from the world of wine and beer.

Orange Bourbon is a refined coffee that is both delicate and punchy. It is one to savour and explore.

Special Release coffee is roasted and dispatched each Wednesday. The cut-off for orders is Wednesday at 8am. Any other items in your order will be dispatched at the same time.

Processing

Piendamo, Cauca

Wilton owns and operates 3 naturally diverse coffee farms located in Piendamo – Cauca in Southwestern Colombia at a height of 1800 – 2100 masl..

Bright, Juicy and Complex

We pick up on notes of bergamot, apricot and shortbread. There is a citrus sugar-like sweetness, and lingering floral notes with every sip.

Advanced Processing

Wilton's processing methods are so controlled and complex, that the usual terminology doesn't seem sufficient. This 'advanced process' includes sterilisation with UV and Ozone, introduction of Saccharomyces pastorianus yeast, and a reintroduction of the de-pulped cherry during the second stage of fermentation. The coffee is then washed again in a 'thermal shock' process, which helps to 'lock in' the results of the fermentation.

Bright Intensity

This Orange Bourbon varietal is highly sought-after for its complexity and floral notes. These flavours are refined and enhanced by Wilton Benitez's advanced processing techniques.
