This lot features Tabi, a variety developed by Colombia's National Coffee Research Institute, CENICAFÉ, to boost yields and improve resistance to disease. CENICAFÉ released Tabi to much fanfare in 2002, but then released its Castillo variety just three years later. In less than a decade, the Castillo variety became the most common coffee variety in Colombia, and Tabi was virtually obsolete.. When Libardo Pepicano planted it at his Suspiros farm, he joined a small but growing movement of quality-focused growers who are reviving Tabi for its combination of cup quality, yield, and disease resistance. This lot jumped off the table when we first tasted it in Colombia back in November. We have been eagerly awaiting its arrival ever since.

How To Brew

We recommend starting with a 1:18 coffee-to-water ratio, which provides an excellent total extraction level and maximizes flavor pulled out of the ground coffee. For our single origin coffees we recommend a pour over method either on a Chemex, V60 or Kalita Wave on a 5 or 6 grind setting if you are ordering from intelligentsia.com.
