Harvesting and Processing:

The coffee is very carefully hand harvested from pink bourbon varietal trees and then processed using the following method:

  1. Coffee is fermented in sealed metal drums for 60 hours
  2. Pulped to removed most of the fruit leaving some mucilage
  3. Fermented in sealed metal drums for 140 hours
  4. Coffee is washed to remove all mucilage
  5. Dried on raised beds for 20-25 days
This process involves no added elements and the fermentation has been used to elevate the natural flavour characteristics of the pink bourbon varietal.

This is a stunning coffee that showcases the amazing flavour profile of high altitude pink bourbon coffee. With a cup score of 87+ you can expect a wide range of tasting notes that include treacle, pomegranate, grape and a lovely brown sugar sweetness.
