El Porvenir Washed, Colombia
This Tabi is light-bodied and complex, offering crisp white wine acidity and nuanced herbal aromatics throughout.
Released in 2002 by Colombia’s National Coffee Research Center, Tabi blends Typica, Bourbon, and Timor genetics. Its name means “good” in Guambiano, an Indigenous language spoken in Southwestern Colombia. Unlike many hybrids, Tabi preserves traditional plant stature, it is taller than Bourbon, with long branches and large beans. Farmers value its adaptability across elevations and climates, a rare combination of disease tolerance and classic lineage.
