This lot continues our exploration of Santa María in Huila. It is our first year working with Luz Rivera, and we are pleased to have the opportunity to showcase this lot. In the cup we find raspberry, citrus, and wildflower honey.

ABOUT LUZ STELLA RIVERA
This lot was shown to us by our exporting partners in Huila, and we are grateful for their support in this project. We know very little about Luz Rivera, but her coffee was among the higher-scoring lots from the samples we received this year. We look forward to visiting her farm and learning more about her process next season.
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.
