2025 Victor Chala; La Palma Rosa - Colombia

This is our first release from Victor Chala, an inspiring producer growing Pink Bourbon in southern Huila. We are excited to include his coffee in our selections this season, and look forward to visiting his farm on our next trip to Colombia. In the cup we find rose tea, orange zest, and elderberry.

The 2025 Victor Chala release from Sey Coffee highlights the distinct profile of Pink Bourbon grown in the Huila region of Colombia. As a hybrid varietal, Pink Bourbon is frequently celebrated for its complex acidity and refined sweetness, often bridging the gap between the classic profile of red Bourbon and the floral elegance associated with Ethiopian landraces. In this specific lot, producer Victor Chala presents a cup defined by notes of rose tea, orange zest, and elderberry.

When evaluating such nuanced profiles, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better categorize the interplay between delicate floral aromatics and vibrant citrus acidity. While Pink Bourbon is known for its potential for high-clarity cup profiles, the specific expression of these characteristics is deeply influenced by the unique microclimate and processing techniques employed at La Palma Rosa. This offering serves as a compelling example of the precision currently defining contemporary Colombian coffee production.
