We taste the mouthwatering acidity of pink lemonade, the sweetness of fresh kiwis, and a juicy & confectionary sweetness reminiscent of watermelon candies. This coffee has a silky body and a sparkling finish.

About The Producer
Andrés used to work as a biochemical engineer and coffee processor at El Paraiso. Now, he focuses on sourcing, growing, and processing his own lots of coffee. Andrés owns two farms, Los Capachos and El Sendero. Both farms are located in Florencia, which is south of Cauca and close to Nariño. It is a land well-known for its mineral soils, which produce unique terroirs to the coffee. The quality of this coffee is enhanced by organic handling and the protection of the soil through the utilization of native species.
Processing
After picking and sorting at Finca El Sendero, this coffee is held in cherry for a 24 hour fermentation process, followed by a traditional washed process. We refer to this process as semi-washed because of the combination of saturated fermentation in cherry mucilage and rinsing in fresh water. The parchment is then dried.
Variety
Pink Bourbon is a variety primarily grown in Huila. Though newer than other varietals, it has quickly grown in popularity for its bright, sweet, and aromatic profiles. It is now known to be an Ethiopian Landrace.
