ABOUT JUAN JIMÉNEZ
Juan Jiménez produces some of the finest Pink Bourbon in southern Huila and consistently places in the top 10 of the Copa de Oro competition. This impactful event connects roasters and buyers with previously unknown producers, while also giving producers access to international markets—an opportunity that is otherwise difficult to achieve independently. We are deeply grateful to our friends at Osito for their hard work in organizing this impressive competition and to the producers who created the extraordinary coffees we had the privilege to taste. We look forward to supporting this event for many years to come.
ABOUT PINK BOURBON
Pink Bourbon is a relatively new variety being grown primarily in and around Huila, Colombia. The variety has been identified genetically as an Ethiopian Landrace, but unfortunately, we cannot be any more specific as to its origins until there is a larger genetic database.

The cost of getting a coffee from cherry to beverage varies enormously depending on its place of origin and the location of its consumption. The inclusion of price transparency is a starting point to inform broader conversation around the true costs of production and the sustainability of specialty coffee as a whole.
