We are excited to finally explore something we have always aimed for: separating lots not just by quality, but also by harvest pass. In this exceptional Pink Bourbon, we find strawberry jam, yellow tropical acidity, and a lovely, complex finish.
Pink Bourbon
Palestina, Huila
1,750 masl
July, 2024
Hand-picked at peak ripeness. Floated to further remove defects and de-pulped on the day of harvest. Dry-fermented for 30 hours. Dried on raised beds.
We have been working with Jose Martinez for several years. He is an extremely dedicated producer who cares deeply about quality. His Pink Bourbon lot is consistently one of our favorite coffees each year.
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.
