Colombia · Huila · 1,700–1,900 masl
Bourbon Jamaica Flower Colombia
Colombian Pink Bourbon from Huila, subjected to an anaerobic wash co-fermented with hibiscus flower, introducing new aromatic compounds into the cherry. The result is a floral, acidic, and vibrant cup with a clear finish of pomegranate and red fruits.
The origin
Huila, Colombia. At 1,700–1,900 masl the bean ripens slowly, and that slowness is what ends up in the cup.
The harvest
Ripe cherry only, picked by hand, pass after pass across the same slope. What's green stays on the tree.
The processing
Anaerobic wash co-fermented with hibiscus flower infusion process. This is where the sweetness and the clarity of the cup are decided.
The drying
In the sun, on raised beds, turned by hand. No rush and no dryer.
The roast
At our Alcover roastery, on Mondays and Thursdays. Never before it's needed.

Who grows it
Detrás de este lote
The Pink Bourbon is an uncommon variety even within Colombian specialty coffee: it is identified by its pink cherries on the plant and by a cup that is markedly more floral and complex than classic Bourbon.
