Abelardo produced one of our favorite Pink Bourbons last year, and we are extremely excited to be roasting his coffee again. In the cup we find lemonade, ripe blueberry, and hibiscus.

ABOUT ABELARDO MEDINA
This is our second year purchasing coffee from Abelardo. After visiting him and his farm this year, we remain impressed by both his dedication and the quality of Pink Bourbon he produces. This coffee, in many ways, has redefined our expectations for this variety, and it is a true honor and joy to roast his coffee again.
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.
