Context

Sourced from the Huila region of Colombia, this Colombia Carolina Samboni Pink Bourbon represents a meticulous approach to specialty coffee production. The Pink Bourbon varietal is increasingly sought after for its unique genetic profile, often bridging the gap between the sweetness of red bourbon and the complexity of yellow varieties. By utilizing a washed process, the roasters at Glen Lyon Coffee aim to highlight the inherent clarity and clean acidity characteristic of high-quality beans from this specific terroir.

While washed coffees are generally celebrated for their bright, crisp profiles and ability to showcase the nuances of the bean’s origin, the specific character of this lot invites a deeper exploration of its sensory profile. Enthusiasts are encouraged to reference the flavor wheel to better identify the subtle, evolving notes present in each cup, allowing for a more structured appreciation of how this particular varietal expresses itself through the lens of a traditional wash.
