About This Coffee

This Pink Bourbon comes from the microregion of Acevedo, Huila. Acevedo generally has a cooler microclimate, and produces some of our favorite Colombian coffees. In the cup we find bright apple, delicate florals, with a clean, very sweet finish. ABOUT FIDEL ROJAS This is an extremely small lot from Fidel Rojas. His farm is only a single hectare (~2.5 acres) and we purchased his entire Pink Bourbon harvest. This is our first year working with Fidel, and we're very excited about the future of his coffee. Acevedo has consistently been one of our favorite microregions within Huila, Colombia, and this is the first opportunity we've had to purchase and work with a Pink Bourbon from here. ABOUT PINK BOURBON Pink Bourbon is a variety known for the complexity of its acidity and fruit characteristics. The physical look of the seeds and plant, along with its rather distinct flavor profile, point towards it being some sort of Ethiopian Landrace variety. However, to our knowledge Pink Bourbon has not yet been genetically tested, so we cannot say with certainty what exactly it is. Working with our partners at World Coffee Research we hope to have this variety tested this year.
