About a decade ago, mysterious coffee trees were discovered on the Rodriguez family farm — the same producers as El Porvenir and Pacamara La Gloria. The cherries of these trees were found to be much larger and denser than that of the average coffee cherry and produce 10-20 times the juice when squeezed. Named for the cherries' impressive density, the Elefante variety was born. The origin was unknown, but after recent genetic testing, these naturally mutating trees were discovered to be a combination of an unknown Ethiopian Landrace and the world-famous Bourbon.
Over the years, the Rodriguez family has planted many seedlings of these trees, investing in further research and meticulous harvesting and processing techniques. This special tasting set celebrates this unique variety with three different lots of Elefante. In this tasting set you will find a washed process Elefante, a natural processed Elefante, and 6th place 2023 Cup of Excellence Elefante Nueva Granada.
