This is our first year purchasing coffee from Fanci Morales, an exceptional producer who has consistently placed in regional competitions. She grows Pink Bourbon on a small 2-hectare (~4.9-acre) garden with remarkable care and precision. In the cup we find ripe forest berries, wildflower honey, and tea.

ABOUT FRANCI MARIN MORALES
This is the first year we have been fortunate enough to purchase coffee from Franci Morales, an inspired producer who has consistently placed in the Copa de Oro competition. She and her husband work together on their small coffee garden, located at 1,900 masl—one of the highest elevation farms in the entire region. Her coffees have long impressed us on the cupping table, and we are excited to finally be working with them directly.
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.
