ABOUT ROQUE ACOSTA
We recently discovered Roque through our project with Osito in southern Huila. He is currently growing Pink Bourbon, Gesha, Papayo, and Varidad Colombia. We're excited to explore his other varieties in the coming harvest and will be visiting him and his farm on our next trip to Huila this fall.
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.
