BOURBON VARIETY
An aromatic rarity rooted in tradition
Duse is a vibrant interpretation of the historic Bourbon variety, grown at 5,645 feet above sea level in the lush mountains of Apía, Risaralda, Colombia. This region, known for its biodiversity and stable microclimates, provides the perfect conditions for this heritage coffee to flourish.
Originally from Réunion Island, Bourbon has long been prized for its natural elegance and sensory complexity. While less productive than modern hybrids, its sweetness, smoothness, and refined character have made it a favorite among growers focused on quality over yield.
In the cup, Duse by 923 Coffee reveals an inviting profile of caramel and ripe cherry, lifted by a refreshing touch of eucalyptus and mint. With its balanced acidity, round body, and clean, lingering finish, it offers a sophisticated and memorable tasting experience.
Handpicked at peak ripeness and processed using the honey method, Duse pays tribute to the noble legacy of Bourbon and the vibrant expression of Colombian origin.
INDIGENOUS ROOTS, LIVING KNOWLEDGE
Single-origin coffee doesn’t just express the soil it grows in — it reflects the knowledge of those who cultivate it. In the case of Duse, that knowledge carries an Indigenous voice. Indigenous people who harvest it bring more than a skill; they carry a worldview in which the earth is a teacher, and coffee is a way to connect with life itself.
From planting to drying, their work is guided by a deep understanding of nature: lunar cycles, the rhythm of water, the energy of plants. This ancestral perspective transforms coffee production into a conscious ritual — one where biodiversity is not only respected, but celebrated. In every cup of Duse, that legacy whispers through notes of caramel, cherry, and eucalyptus — a sensory tribute to a people who still protect the land as something sacred.
SUSTAINABILITY WITH ROOTS
In many Indigenous communities, the relationship with the land goes beyond cultivation — it is a way of life. Though their cultures and rituals are diverse, they all share a common principle: to protect and regenerate the territory they inhabit. Their philosophy of conservation —resilient through time and untouched by extractive models— stands today as a powerful alternative to the pressures of the modern world.
Here, sustainability is not a label — it is an ancestral practice. Coffee is grown with deep respect, following the principles of circular agriculture, where nothing is wasted: organic byproducts are returned to the soil as nutrients, water is reused, and every action seeks to give back more than it takes. This approach results in coffee that is free from deforestation, cultivated without chemicals, and rooted in a healthy, thriving ecosystem.
More than a beverage, coffee becomes a conduit for balance, connection, and responsibility — with the planet, and with those who have cared for it for generations.
