William Ortiz is one of the more exciting producers we have met recently, and this Pink Bourbon separation marks our first season including his coffee in our Huila project. In the cup we find pink lemonade, strawberry preserve, and soft florals.

ABOUT WILLIAM ORTIZ

ABOUT PINK BOURBON
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.
