This is a unique Pink Bourbon lot. Pink Bourbon is a hybrid of Yellow and Red Bourbon varieties that was first discovered and grown in Colombia. Taste-wise, Pink Bourbon has all the advantages of its Bourbon parents. The highlights of the typical Pink Bourbon profile are the strong floral notes and pleasant acidity frequently found in East African coffees. There’s more than colour and altitude on its side. Chemical breakdowns have found that Pink Bourbon has higher glucose content than many other varieties. This additional glucose — a type a sugar — means not only a sweeter taste, but also a silkier body and more luscious mouthfeel. Some farmers also report that Pink Bourbon has more disease resistance than its Red and Yellow parents.

After selective handpicking, ripe cherry is placed in plastic bags and fermented anaerobically for 120 hours. Then, cherry is laid on patios to sundry. Cherry is raked frequently to ensure even drying. It takes approximately 25 days for cherry to dry.
