ABOUT DIVINO NIÑO

We generally work with single producer lots from small farms in an attempt to ensure homogeneous quality and highlight the specific terroir that goes into making a certain coffee taste the way it tastes. However, there are some instances in which blending small crops from neighboring producers is advantageous both for quality as well as for the small community of contributing producers. While the lots produced on these small farms are not viably exportable on their own, combining such small lots allows them to be sold for higher prices on the specialty market, and encourages the producers to cooperate with one another in order to meet the rigorous quality standards of the specialty market. This particular regional blend is a collection of quality-separated Pink Bourbon lots from a very small group of neighboring producers around the hamlet of Divino Niño.

ABOUT PINK BOURBON

Pink Bourbon is a variety known for the complexity of its acidity and fruit characteristics. The physical look of the seeds and plant, along with its rather distinct flavor profile, point towards it being some sort of Ethiopian Landrace variety. However, to our knowledge Pink Bourbon has not yet been genetically tested, so we cannot say with certainty what exactly it is. Working with our partners at World Coffee Research we hope to have this variety tested in the near future.
