Information

Farm: La Fortuna Region: Huila Country: Colombia Variety: Pink Bourbon Process: Washed Sourcing: Qima

Sourced from the La Fortuna estate in the Huila region of Colombia, this Pink Bourbon offering from H+S Coffee Roasters showcases the distinct character of a high-quality washed lot. While washed processing is generally utilized to highlight the inherent acidity and clean profile of a bean, the specific terroir of Huila often contributes to the vibrant, fruit-forward clarity found in these selections.

The cup profile features delicate notes of white peach, starfruit, and orange blossom. When evaluating such nuanced flavors, referencing a flavor wheel can be a helpful tool for identifying the subtle transitions between stone fruit and floral aromatics. As a varietal, Pink Bourbon is frequently noted for its complex sweetness and balanced structure, making this a compelling example of how careful cultivation and precise processing methods can elevate a single-origin coffee.
