Pink Bourbon Natural

Best to open with what Pink bourbon is- a deceptively rare yet favourable varietal; a cross between Red and Yellow bourbon varietals, taking the strengths in both flavour and high elevation growth whilst avoiding weakness such as coffee rust. Finca Tamana itself has had quite the history, with Don Elias purchasing the farm over 10 years ago and in that time, with help from Tim Wendelboe, has turned this farm from lower than commodity grade coffee into its consistent top-shelf quality it is now. With state of the art processing and hand picked, shade grown cherries, only the best comes from Finca Tamana. After hand picking, this coffee is sealed whole cherry in grain-pro bags for 80+ hours allowing an anaerobic ferment to take place, leading to high complexity in the cup. After the long ferment, it is then pulped and parchment is soaked and floated, leaving only the best behind. The coffee is then dried in parabolic dryers on raised beds before being milled. Notes of Grape Hi-Chew will hit you from the ferment, but then crisp up with kiwi and a Pink lady apple finish. One of a pair, we’ve got Pink bourbon processed two ways, so make sure you slurp the washed next! We imported this coffee and all other Finca Tamana’s, along with Diamante Farm’s in direct partnership, with help from InterAmerican.
