ABOUT LILIANA BURBANO
Over the years, we have worked with many selections from the Burbano family, but this is our first year featuring a lot from Liliana. With deep experience in the San Agustín region, it is always exciting to discover new coffees from new farms. One of our core priorities is identifying exceptional producers and helping connect them to the higher-paying specialty market—and Liliana’s coffee is a perfect example of that mission in action.
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.
