A Pink Bourbon that reveals itself through clarity rather than complexity. Clean, bright, and effortlessly sweet.
Grown by Bryan Smith at Finca Satus in Pitalito, Huila, this lot reflects what deliberate, variety-focused farming looks like when the process is given the same level of care as the cultivation. At 1,600 meters above sea level, warm days and cool nights slow cherry maturation, giving sweetness and aromatic lift time to develop fully before harvest begins.
Only ripe cherries are selected, then floated to remove any defects before depulping. Fermentation takes place in water-filled tanks, a method chosen specifically to enhance clarity and balance rather than add layers of complexity. Drying begins slowly in a controlled silo before transitioning to sun drying, a two-stage approach that stabilizes moisture and protects the variety's delicate aromatics through to the finish.
In the cup, white peach leads with a soft, almost effortless sweetness, followed by clementine brightness that keeps things lively without tipping into sharpness. Honeysuckle adds a delicate honeyed sweetness that lifts the profile without making it overly floral, carrying gently into the finish. The texture is silky and clean, with a refined sweetness that stays steady from the first sip to the last.
Why We Chose This Coffee
We chose this lot because it demonstrates how much a well-executed washed process can express without intervention. Bryan Smith's focus on selective harvesting and careful fermentation management lets the Pink Bourbon speak entirely for itself.
What stood out is the clarity. Every note feels placed rather than accidental, and the two-stage drying adds a structural refinement that keeps the cup feeling polished and consistent. Nothing is exaggerated here, just precise, honest coffee.
