Colombia Huila - Pink Bourbon

Colombia is making great strides in traceability, quality, and responsible farming. This washed process microlot came from the Huila region grown at La Primavera Estate. Pink Bourbon bushes don't produce much and don't live very long. It's hard to know when to harvest because the fruit is pink when it's ripe. With other coffees, pink means unripe. If you wait for this one to turn red it spoils. 

Pink Bourbon coffee tastes sweeter and more fruity than most varietals. You pretty much want to roast it like a regular Colombia washed process coffee but an end temperature a degree or two lighter than you normally would in order to appreciate the extra sweetness. For us, that means just shy of 2nd cracks. 

Producing pink bourbon coffee requires a crazy amount of labor and passion. Everything about this coffee is so cool. We're sharing it with everyone who walks in the door just to see their reaction. It's not cheap, but it's a labor of love.
