Why We Love This Coffee

Pink Bourbons have come to dominate our Colombian offerings because they are just so good: an heirloom Ethiopian variety plus Huila’s perfect climate and growing conditions are the perfect recipe for delicious coffee. It simply doesn’t get any better than this one from Acevedo. We are confident that without question it would have been one of the top placers in the Huila Mágico competition if it had been run this year. Sadly, with the chaos of the C-market, it just didn’t happen.

This coffee is exceptionally sweet, with intense fruity notes including strawberry, blackberry, perhaps prune - this coffee is fruitier than a lot of naturally-processed coffees - plus a sparkling or “electric” acidity and a unique minerality. It almost tastes salty - not like the saltiness you get from a severely underextracted espresso, but a pleasant one. Think of the way salt intensifies the flavor of whatever food you put it on. At higher extractions, with harder water, something akin to mint comes out too. We simply can’t recommend this one highly enough.
