This is our first year working with producer Jhonatan Pito. We discovered this coffee when its clarity and expression leapt off one of our buying tables. In the cup we find excellent structure, tangerine, honey, and blueberry.
Pink Bourbon
San Agustín, Huila
1,800 masl
August, 2025
Hand-picked at peak ripeness. Floated to further remove defects. Held in-cherry overnight. De-pulped. Dry-fermented for 50 hours. Washed. Dried on raised beds until moisture content reaches 10.5%.
This coffee comes to us through a completely new supply channel. As our exploration of Huila deepens, we are diversifying our sourcing networks to gain better access to new coffees and producers. While quality will always fluctuate year to year, we remain committed to the incredible potential of southern Huila—and to celebrating the seasonal diversity that makes each harvest unique.
Pink Bourbon is a relatively new variety being grown primarily in and around Huila, Colombia. The variety has been identified genetically as an Ethiopian Landrace, but unfortunately, we cannot be any more specific as to its origins until there is a larger genetic database.
The cost of getting a coffee from cherry to beverage varies enormously depending on its place of origin and the location of its consumption. The inclusion of price transparency is a starting point to inform broader conversation around the true costs of production and the sustainability of specialty coffee as a whole.
