## What the Brand Says

> - Variety: Pink Bourbon - Country: Colombia - Region: El Cerrito, La Plata, Huila - Process: Washed - Altitude: 1850 MASL - Producer: Elder Castro Garcia - Farm: Finca Las Acacias - Roast Level: Extra-light In the cup We taste fresh red fruits that remind us of raspberries and strawberries, a balanced sweetness reminiscent of candy floss, and delicate black tea. This coffee has a light body and a round finish. Clean Funky Terroir Experimental About The Producer Elder Castro Garcia is a coffee producer from the rural township of El Cerrito in La Plata. He has approximately 5,000 two to five-year-old trees per hectare, regularly growing Colombia, Geisha, Pink Bourbon, and Sidra varieties. He also grows avocados and sells them locally. Processing This Pink Bourbon micro lot is hand-selected and brought in from the field by local and itinerant pickers. They are then floated to remove any lower-density beans before being placed in plastic bags for 36 hours. They are then de-pulped fully and dry-fermented for another 40 hours. The coffee parchment is then rinsed and placed on raised beds in a parabolic greenhouse dryer for 15 to 20 days to dry. Variety Pink Bourbon is a variety primarily grown in Huila. Though newer than other varietals, it has quickly grown in popularity for its bright, sweet, and aromatic profiles. It is now known to be an Ethiopian Landrace. Transparency We Paid $40.70 USD/KG Roasted Costs $49.30 USD/KG This is our first time featuring a coffee from Elder Castro Garcia. This delicate Pink Bourbon won him the 4th place award at the Western Copa de Oro competition. In the cup we are tasting crispy red berries, florals and citric acidity. This is an extra-light roast variant of this coffee. Our extra-lights require extended rest for best results and often sacrifice intensity, sweetness, and acidity for clarity.
