This is our first year purchasing a lot from Oliva. It is a lovely expression of Pink Bourbon grown in San Agustín, and we look forward to visiting Villa Sofia next season. In the cup we find dark berries, molasses, and a long, complex finish.

ABOUT OLIVA QUINAYAS
Oliva Quinayas is a new producer to us, and we are grateful that Jose from Osito set this coffee aside. While we still know little about her, we look forward to visiting her farm and getting to know her during our next trip to Huila later this year.
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.
