ABOUT HAROLD ORTIZ CERON
Our first lots from Harold Ortiz Ceron are part of a deeper exploration into Nariño. Originally from Tolima, Harold moved to Nariño to be with his wife. He worked in construction and beekeeping before turning to specialty coffee during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nariño remains exceptionally difficult to work in, but we believe strongly in its quality potential. We look forward to seeing how Harold’s farm develops.
ABOUT PINK BOURBON
Pink Bourbon is a variety known for the complexity of its acidity and fruit characteristics. The appearance of the seeds and plant, along with its distinct flavor profile, suggest it may be an Ethiopian Landrace variety. To our knowledge, Pink Bourbon has not yet been genetically tested, and we cannot say with certainty what it is. We hope to have it tested in the near future through our partners at World Coffee Research.

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.
