Finca Los Capachos - Colombia Washed Pink Bourbon (Extra-Light)
Our third time featuring Los Capachos from our dear friend Eyder (Andres) Martinez. Andres once worked for El Paraiso as their biochemical engineer and coffee processor. Over the past couple years we have grown a good relationship with Eyder working directly with him and this beautiful Pink Bourbon is the third coffee we've featured from his family farm Los Capachos, this time featuring a semi-washed Pink Bourbon. This is an Extra-light roast variant of Los Capachos.

In the cup
We get a lively, vibrant profile of honeydew melon, pink jolly ranchers and blackberries. Reminding us of our favourite anaerobic washed processed coffees, this coffee has a sweetness that reminds us of honeydews and a juicy citric acidity. This coffee is round in body with a long sweet finish.
