The Alarcón Coronel family and its La Palestina farm are well-known to us. We have been working with the family and sourcing coffee from its farm on and off since 2018. This release features a variety that is less well-known to us. Bourbon Marshell is named for the owner of the farm in northern Peru where unusual coffee plants were first discovered a few years ago. The seed from those plants was multiplied and distributed to farms throughout the region, including La Palestina. This is the first lot of Bourbon Marshell we have sourced, but it won’t be the last — Bourbon Marshell is now coming into production at scale.
