Pink Bourbon
This washed Pink Bourbon comes from Finca El Paraíso in Cauca, Colombia, where the Bermudez brothers grow it between 1,700 and 1,850 masl. For this lot, the process includes oxidation, depulping, and an open-tank stage, followed by controlled mechanical drying, a sequence that forms part of this particular expression of the variety.
The aromatics are immediately striking. Lavender and osmanthus open into pineapple, raspberry, and strawberry, with vanilla and cashew adding depth beneath the fruit. A delicate white-wine character brings brightness and definition, while the silky body carries every layer into a remarkably clean, lingering finish.
Available in a 24kg box with the coffee vacuum-packed in GrainPro, this Colombian Pink Bourbon green coffee gives roasters the flexibility to develop a dedicated roast profile and plan smaller, high-value production runs.
Direct trade green coffee imported by JA coffee through long-term relationships at origin, for specialty coffee roasters.
What is so special about this coffee?
This Pink Bourbon follows a more traditional washed preparation than many of Finca El Paraíso’s experimental lots. After oxidation, the cherries are depulped and the coffee continues processing in open tanks, keeping the focus on the variety and the quality of the selected fruit.
Drying takes place mechanically at a controlled temperature of 38°C, followed by stabilization and cool storage. This measured sequence helps the coffee reach an even moisture level before storage while carrying its delicate aromatics and silky structure through to the final cup.
