Rum, Pineapple, Papaya This new Colombian coffee welcomes you with notes of sweet, juicy papaya, followed by intense notes of pineapple. Due to heavy fermentation, an alcoholic character is present throughout, reminiscent of rum cocktails. We highly recommend Villa Pastora to people who enjoy a funky and sweet espresso with higher citric acidity. In combination with milk, this coffee will remind you of a passion fruit yogurt with a silky, smooth mouthfeel. The complexity of this coffee never stops, offering a richness of tropical fruits complemented by notes of black cherries and coconut.

About Pink Bourbon Pink Bourbon coffee was discovered in Colombia’s southern Huila region between 2010 and 2014. Rodrigo Sanchez Valencia and his team identified the variety on Finca Monteblanco. The variety gained attention for its pink cherries and potential disease resistance. Pink Bourbon varietal was originally believed to be a hybrid of Red and Yellow Bourbon due to its pink cherry colour.

However, the 2017 test by DNA Analytica showed that Pink Bourbon coffees shared genetic similarity with Ethiopian wild coffees, and lesser similarity with Tanzanian Arabica, Bourbon, and Catimor. The 2023 test by RD2 Vision, led by Christophe Montagnon, confirmed Pink Bourbon as an Ethiopian landrace, not related to Bourbon.Pink Bourbon is a vernacular name, not a true Bourbon variety.

The coffee varietal thrives at high altitudes between 1,750–2,000 masl, on volcanic soil and in a cool microclimate.

Pink Bourbon coffee stands out for its complex flavour profile, combining floral notes, tropical fruit and bright acidity. Pink Bourbon coffee tastes sweet and rich with hints of citrus, honey and white flowers.
