This is the first year we have worked with Servio Botina after discovering his coffee at a regional competition in Huila. His coffees continue to exceed expectations, and we are excited to work with this lot from his late harvest. In the cup we find blackberry, wildflower honey, and excellent density.

ABOUT SERVIO BOTINA
Our love affair with coffees from San Agustín is no secret; it only continues to develop and grow over the years. Servio is a new producer to us in 2024, and after so many trips, finding new producers and coffees continues to be a wonderful surprise. That this continues to occur is a living testament to how many producers and coffees still haven't had the chance to receive the recognition they deserve.
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.
