ACQUISTION :

Having had the pleasure of cupping a number of coffees and purchasing a few from Forest, Pink Borbon Creation has been at the top of our list to feature for some time. A dynamic coffee in flavor and process, we are exited to feature such a fun coffee. We find Key Lime, Sweet Tea, and Peach Rings. Super sweet and floral. Juicy body and a real zip of acidity.

HISTORY :

“Once upon a time in the lush hills of Huila, Colombia, there was a special coffee variety known as Pink Bourbon. Legend has it that this unique bean, with its distinctive pink hue, was born from a fortuitous cross between the Red and Yellow Bourbon varieties. Blessed with rich volcanic soil and a perfect altitude, Huila proved to be the ideal playground for this vibrant coffee to thrive. The Pink Bourbon quickly captured the hearts of local farmers with its exceptional cup profile, boasting flavors of sweet caramel, delicate florals, and a hint of tropical fruitiness. Its ability to withstand the region's diverse microclimates and adapt to varying altitudes made it a darling among growers in Huila, who lovingly tended to their coffee plants, nurturing them with care and dedication. Today, the Pink Bourbon continues to flourish in Huila, a testament to the harmonious marriage between nature's gifts and the labor of passionate coffee cultivators.” - Forest Coffee

PROCESS :

“Say hello to our Pink Bourbon, where the fermentation game is strong! We kick things off with a 24-hour pre-fermentation in cherry, giving those beans a head start on flavor fun. Then, buckle up for a 36-hour aerobic fermentation fiesta in bags, all snug in their mucilage blankets. Finally, we let them bask in the sun's glory on raised beds for about 15 days. It's like a tropical vacation for your taste buds – sun-soaked and bursting with flavor!” - Forest Coffee
