Colombia Pink Bourbon

The Pink Bourbon variety itself is shrouded in a bit of mystique and is believed to have emerged as a natural cross between Red and Yellow Bourbon varieties, inheriting the best qualities of both. The rich volcanic soils and ideal altitude of Huila, Colombia, proved to be the perfect environment for this unique bean to flourish. Its distinctive pink hue (when ripe) and exceptional cup quality quickly made it a favorite among local farmers.

This particular Pink Bourbon Creation comes from two farms, Los Pinos and La Primavera, nestled in the Acevedo municipality of Huila. These farms are meticulously managed by dedicated farmers Edier Perdomo and Diego Horta, who pour their passion and expertise into every step of the process. Grown at an impressive altitude of 1800 meters, these beans benefit from the cool temperatures and unique terroir that define Huila coffee.

The Pink Bourbon Creation undergoes a carefully controlled semi-washed process, designed to unlock its full flavor potential:

1. Selective Harvesting: Only the perfectly ripe, pink-hued cherries are hand-picked, ensuring exceptional quality from the start.
2. Pre-Fermentation: The cherries undergo a 24-hour pre-fermentation in cherry, initiating the development of complex flavors.
3. Anaerobic Fermentation: The cherries are then transferred to bags for a 36-hour anaerobic fermentation, still in their mucilage. This controlled environment, snug in mucilage blankets, enhances the coffee's sweetness and unique characteristics.
4. Drying: Finally, the beans are carefully dried on raised beds for 15 days, reaching the optimal moisture level for roasting.

This meticulous process, combining elements of both washed and natural processing, results in a coffee that's both clean and vibrant, with a pronounced fruitiness and complexity.

The Pink Bourbon Creation offers a truly captivating cup profile. Expect a bright citric acidity balanced by delicate floral notes. Hints of apple and green tea add a refreshing crispness, while a juicy tangerine sweetness rounds out the experience. It's a coffee that's both complex and approachable, perfect for adventurous palates and those seeking a unique Colombian coffee experience.

This Pink Bourbon Creation is a testament to the dedication of the farmers, the unique terroir of Huila, and the artistry of careful processing.
