2025 Octavio Rueda; El Mirador, 3rd Harvest - Colombia

This release continues our harvest separation project with Octavio Rueda, who has consistently produced one of our favorite profiles—one we are beginning to associate closely with the Pink Bourbon variety. This third harvest pass continues to impress. In the cup we find pomegranate, hibiscus, and limeade.

The 2025 Octavio Rueda release from Sey Coffee represents the third harvest from the El Mirador farm in Colombia. This specific lot features the Pink Bourbon varietal, a hybrid known for its distinct color and complex cup profile. When evaluating such coffees, enthusiasts often look for the bright, acidic qualities that define high-quality regional selections. The roaster identifies notes of pomegranate, hibiscus, and limeade in this particular harvest, offering a vibrant sensory experience.

Pink Bourbon is frequently celebrated for its ability to balance sweetness with nuanced acidity, often requiring careful processing to highlight its inherent characteristics. As you explore the profile of this coffee, you may find it helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better categorize the interplay between its floral and citrus-forward components. This release serves as a compelling example of the ongoing work by producer Octavio Rueda to refine the output of his farm.
