Pink Bourbon
With its reddish-pink cherry hue and exceptional cup quality, the Pink Bourbon variety has earned a reputation for being both visually striking and remarkably flavourful. While its exact origins remain unconfirmed, it is widely believed to have emerged as a natural mutation at 2,100 m.a.s.l. in the San Adolfo region of Huila, Colombia, around 1980. Its high-altitude birthplace has made Pink Bourbon a favourite among coffee farmers and roasters. Initially, Pink Bourbon was thought to be a mutation of the Red and Yellow Bourbon varieties. However, some researchers have challenged this theory, proposing instead that Pink Bourbon may trace its lineage to an Ethiopian landrace variety. Pink Bourbon variety is adaptable to specific growing conditions. Pink Bourbon is a high- altitude coffee variety, thriving best at elevations between 1,700 to 2,100 m.a.s.l. This elevation range is crucial for developing the complex flavours and vibrant acidity that Pink Bourbon is known for. Pink Bourbon trees are typically medium in height. This compact size makes them easier to manage and harvest compared to taller varieties.
Washed Coffee
Luz Helena, and the team of pickers selectively harvest only the ripest cherries. The cherries are then transported to La Leona sorting area, where the team meticulously hand-sorts and float them to eliminate any low-density, underripe, or defective beans. Afterwards, the cherries undergo a 30-hour underwater fermentation—a critical step that enhances the coffee’s flavour profile. They do this controlled fermentation process as it allows the sugars, organic acids, and other compounds within the cherries to break down gradually,
stimulating the development of a delicate yet interesting profile. After fermentation, the cherries are pulped, and the mucilage is thoroughly washed away. The water used in our washing process is recycled and reused for floating subsequent batches of cherries.
