In the cup
We taste a juicy pink bourbon that reminds us of the sweetness of cotton candy, juicy blood orange and a grapefruit finish. This coffee has a light body and a sweet lingering finish.
About The Producer
José and his wife, Francy Helena Inga, have been farming coffee for many years. While José grew up in a coffee farming family, he left home at a young age and worked all over Colombia as a bus driver. In the last two decades, he decided to return to his roots and bought El Casino in Sinaí, Palestina. Today, he and Francy manage 10 hectares, five of which are planted with several varieties of coffee including Caturra, Pink Bourbon, Gesha and Tabi. José and Francy also have a huge soft spot for abandoned dogs and have given a home to dozens over the years.
Processing
José picks ripe cherry and lets it rest for around 12hrs. After this he then pulps it and allows it to ferment in open plastic tank for 30hrs. The coffee is washed and dried in solar driers.
Variety
Pink Bourbon is a variety primarily grown in Huila, Colombia and while newer, it has quickly grown in popularity for its bright, sweet and aromatic profiles. It is now known to be an Ethiopian Landrace varietal.
