BEHIND PRODUCTION
Once upon a time in the verdant hills of Huila, Colombia, there was a magical coffee variety known far and wide as Pink Bourbon. This enchanting bean, with its charming pink hue, was said to have sprung from a delightful union between the Red and Yellow Bourbon varieties. Nestled in the embrace of lush volcanic soil and kissed by the sun at just the right altitude, Huila provided the perfect stage for this dazzling coffee to dazzle. The Pink Bourbon quickly became the talk of the town among local farmers, winning hearts with its downright dreamy cup profile—think sweet caramel, delicate florals, and a whisper of tropical fruitiness. And oh, how it thrived!

Withstanding the whims of Huila's diverse microclimates and embracing every altitude with open arms, the Pink Bourbon became the pride and joy of growers across the region. With tender loving care and a sprinkle of passion, farmers tended to their coffee plants, watching over them like precious treasures.

Fast forward to today, and the Pink Bourbon still reigns supreme in Huila, a shining testament to the beautiful dance between Mother Nature's blessings and the tender touch of dedicated coffee cultivators. So, grab your mug and join in the celebration of this truly magical brew—it's a taste of happiness in every sip!

During our visit to Colombia this year, we had the incredible opportunity to explore El Vergel farm and meet the Bayter family, who are the proud owners.

Notably, we established a direct relationship with Shady Bayter, the owner of the Forest company, which imports coffee to Europe.

Thanks to this special connection, we were able to bring this unique Colombian coffee directly to our roastery. It's a testament to the power of personal connections and the journey of our coffee from farm to cup.

Finally, they bask in the sun's warm embrace on raised beds for approximately 15 days. This meticulous process guarantees a tropical escape for your taste buds—each sip is a sun-soaked delight bursting with flavor!
