We look forward to tasting coffee from Jair every year. His Pink Bourbon is consistently loud, dynamic, and expressive. In the cup we find strawberry lemonade, blueberry, and lemon candy.

ABOUT JAIR ARLES GALINDEZ
This is only our second year working with Jair Arles Galindez, but his coffee made an immediate impression. Pink Bourbons from southern Huila continue to stand out as some of the most expressive profiles in coffee, and Jair’s lot is no exception. As we deepen our work in this region, we are discovering more nuanced variations in profile, shaped by the diverse terroirs that make Huila so special. Thanks to producers like Jair, the future of this project looks exceptionally bright.
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.
