Colombia: G. Lopez

Pink Bourbon, a variety of which genetic testing proved it is not actually related to Bourbon, but to the Ethiopian ancient plant, began appearing more since 2016-2017. Since then there has been a real explosion in cultivation in the region around Huila. 

Our supplier, Osito, has been working with Gildardo, his wife Yolanda Bolaños and their 2 sons, Luis and Ivan, since the end of 2019. Their farm, El Calamar, is located high in the Paicol mountains, on the western edge of Huila. The López-Bolaños family has won numerous prizes in local cup championships, including the Copa de Oro, and year after year their Pink Bourbon impresses. 

The berries are picked by hand when ripe and then floated. After sorting, they are fermented for 30 hours before the pulp is removed. Afterwards they are fermented again for 48 hours. When fermentation and washing is completed, they are dried on raised beds for 20-25 days.

Foremost, we choose to supply beans. After 15 minutes the aromas of ground coffee are gone. We can grind on request, but it is not something we offer as standard. More info you can find on our blog!
