Pink Bourbon Washed

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 being hand picked, this coffee is depulped and the parchment is fermented overnight in stainless steel tanks, then washed clean in eco-mills to save drinking water, removing leftover mucilage. The coffee is then floated in large tanks removing low density beans and foreign objects, finally being shade dried in parabolic dryers for up to a month. This coffee will hit you with notes of earl grey on the aroma and taste, followed by raspberry compote and a sweet fairy floss finish. One of a pair, we’ve got Pink bourbon processed two ways, so make sure you slurp the natty next! We imported this coffee and all other Finca Tamana’s, along with Diamante’s in direct partnership, with help from InterAmerican.
