From our importer:

Sebastian is a big fan of Bourbon Rosado. The washed process is one of the cleanest and most balanced in his portfolio. This coffee undergoes no cherry fermentation; it is depulped immediately after harvesting and fermented for 24 to 36 hours before being washed and dried. This is where it all begins—floral and sweet notes spark his imagination to determine which instruments on his farm can bring out the best potential for the rest of the processes on his portfolio.

This washed-process coffee from producer Sebastian Ramirez highlights the distinct character of the Pink Bourbon varietal grown in the Quindio region of Colombia. As a hybrid variety, Pink Bourbon is often sought after for its unique balance of sweetness and acidity. When processed using the washed method, the bean is typically stripped of its fruit flesh before drying, a technique that often emphasizes clarity and highlights the inherent brightness of the coffee cherry.

Roasted by Little Wolf Coffee, this specific lot presents a vibrant profile characterized by notes of Bergamot and the nostalgic sweetness of Fruit Loops. For those looking to better understand how these specific descriptors align with broader sensory categories, consulting a flavor wheel can be a helpful tool for identifying the nuanced citrus and cereal-like qualities found in high-quality, meticulously processed coffees.
