About This Coffee

A beautiful washed Pink Bourbon from Copa de Oro champion Gildardo Lopez in Colombia. From Christopher: "Pink Bourbon—a variety distinct from Bourbon that genetic testing has revealed to be, in fact, an Ethiopian landrace—has been a favorite of mine since they first started appearing on my cupping tables back in 2016 or 2017. Since then, we've seen an explosion of Pink Bourbon around Southern Huila. It's not surprising to me that this coffee from Gildardo Lopez—the 2022 winner of the Copa de Oro quality competition held by the exporter Osito—was one of my favorites through all three rounds of the Copa de Oro competition held in La Plata, Huila, Colombia in November 2023. In the cup, it's expressive and sweet with notes of peach candy, black raspberry, melon, and a touch of herbality." Put this coffee into context. Due to limited availability (15kg of green) this coffee is available only in 200g boxes.
