    I actually cupped this Bold Bean Julian Calderon Rosado/Pink Bourbon alongside a high-end Gesha yesterday that was spectacular and I don't think there's much between them in terms of quality. This is much better value. It's quite floral, with jasmine tea and honeysuckle off the bat. The mid-palate is fruity with blueberry and cherry. On the second cupping I picked up a bit of passionfruit.

    It's extremely clean and smooth with a wonderful mouthfeel. Lots of natural sweetness The finish is back to the jasmine note.

    The roasting work here is quite appealing - very uniform and visually appealing with an appealing aroma out of the bag. Definitely a farmer and roaster to check out here.

    Cupping Method:My usual formula, 18:1, 92C on the Hario v60.

More Details

Roast Level: Light
Light roast coffee is a delicately roasted coffee that retains more of the beans' natural flavors and characteristics. Light-roasted coffees have bright acidity, complex fruit, and floral notes. Light roast coffee does not have less caffeine than darker roasts because caffeine levels remain stable during roasting.
Bean Source Country: Colombia
Colombian coffees are known for their balanced taste, featuring bright acidity, medium body, and a range of flavors, including fruity notes, caramel sweetness, and nutty undertones. Colombia's worldwide reputation for producing great coffee at scale is well-deserved. Increasingly some of the best microlot specialty roasts are coming from Colombia thanks to their expertise in cultivation and process.
Bean Source Region: Huila
The coffee-growing region of Huila, located in southwestern Colombia, is renowned for producing high-quality coffee due to a combination of factors, including its high elevations (1,200 to 2,000 meters above sea level), tropical climate with well-defined wet and dry seasons, rich volcanic soil, and diverse coffee varietals (such as Caturra, Colombia, Bourbon, and Typica). These conditions contribute to the slow development of coffee cherries, resulting in Huila coffee's bright acidity, medium to full body, and complex flavor profile, often including fruity, floral, and nutty notes. Combined with Colombia's strong technical expertise in cultivation and processing, results in some of the world's best specialty coffees.
