Colombia Pink Bourbon Finca Florida 2019

TIP: You can save products to your favorites list if you log in Pink Bourbon…who knew? Such an anomaly and scarcity that it seldom becomes available, as only a tiny handful of growers in Colombia have ever seen it or tried to cultivate it actively. It's a spontaneous mutation of Red and Yellow Bourbons, and its exact origins, geographically, are still not known. It is apparently quite resistant to the devastating Roya fungus which plagued a good portion of Central America as recently as two years ago. Recovery has been promising. Bourbon varietal has naturally-occurring color variations and appears, sometimes spontaneously, as red, yellow, pink, purple and other similar mixed tones.
Our 2018 Pink Bourbon microlot is produced by farmer Cesar Augusto Yantel at his 15,000 shrub Finca Florida in Acevedo, Huila Department, at an elevation of 1750 meters. Screen size is larger than the fine Yellow and Red Bourbons we've had from our import partner Traviesa Coffee. Very intense coffee…bright, dense and clean. The lighter roast brings out red apple, caramel, long sweet finish and creamy body. Very special coffee, recommended pourover method, but Chemex quite lovely too.
