There’s a Starman

Waiting in the sky, amongst the clouds in the mountain ranges of Huila, the coveted Pink bourbon patiently waits each year for its crimson pearls to ripen, and fall under the care of Diego Campos. The highly sought after Pink bourbon is a rare cross pollination of Yellow and Red bourbon varietals, taking the strengths in both flavour and high elevation growth whilst avoiding weakness such as coffee rust. The rare cherry is treated to an anaerobic fermentation, sealed in grain-pro letting the fruit and lack of oxygen fuel the microorganisms and increase the efficacy of the process. After 80 hours the coffee is removed and left on parabolic dryers, carefully maintained at a stable temperature and humidity to make certain that the coffee reaches the goal moisture level 'cause he knows it's all worthwhile. The extended fermentation has resulted in flavours of apricot delight, sweet pear cider and crisp green grape. The Campos Roa family has produced another outstanding coffee, and we are very thankful they have shared it with us. Thank you to our importing partners Osito for helping import this coffee. You might remember a Pink bourbon natural that graced our roastery last year, that was hazy cosmic jive, but we think this one is even more intense and has a chance to blow our minds.
