Diego Bermudez - Colombia Pink Bourbon
Diego Bermudez and the team at Finca El Paraiso in Cauca Colombia are often known for their meticulous processing and inventive methods. This coffee is the opposite of what we have come to know from Diego, as this is a traditional washed coffee. And we think it shows that Diego and the team at Paraiso aren't a one trick pony. They can produce a stellar washed coffee as well as any.

About The Producer
Diego Bermudez and the team at Finca El Paraiso in Cauca Colombia are often known for their meticulous processing and inventive methods.
Processing
Dried at his new location called, “Natural Friends”, it is a solar dryer in the hills of Bolivar Cauca, the home to Diego. This drying location is unique, due to its placement. Diego and his team are able to dry coffee many times faster than what is considered traditional. Due to the valley winds and constant sun exposure, Diego believes this to be the perfect spot to dry coffee. Washed coffees can be dried in as few as three days, and natural coffees as fast as six days. In comparison, a traditional washed coffee dried this way would take ten to fifteen days. This results in cleaner, brighter coffees.
Variety
Pink Bourbon is a variety primarily grown in Huila, Colombia and while newer, it has quickly grown in popularity for its bright, sweet and aromatic profiles. It is now known to be an Ethiopian Landrace but further information is not available at this time.
