Although we just started roasting in January of this year, our connection to Luis Ordoñez goes back a few more years. We have carried his coffees in the cafe from various roasters since we opened, and Bow had the opportunity to first roast his coffee in 2019 during his time at Hex. Luis’s coffee was also the first coffee we served in the cafe that was roasted under our own name. Needless to say, his coffees are deeply intertwined into our journey in coffee and we’re thankful to offer this lot from him this year. This particular lot is an approachable coffee that we could drink day in and day out. It has a soft, pleasant acidity that reminds us of golden raisins and clementine and a sweetness that reminds us of maple syrup, nougat, and milk chocolate. 

Over the years, Osito has dug deep into their relationship with Luis, buying more of his coffee every year, and as of this year purchased large volumes from three of Luis’s sons as well. Through their collaborative work, not only has the sensory quality improved, but the physical quality has greatly improved, leading to coffee that is more uniform with a longer shelf life.
