    This coffee is fantastic and quite different from other natural Pink Bourbons I've tried, which usually lean more towards floral and funky notes. This one is more balanced, highlighting other flavors beautifully.

    It's got a notable tropical vibe along with the promised cherry and dark chocolate. The cherry flavor isn't the typical oaky kind but more like a fresh Rainier cherry. I also pick up a hint of pineapple. There's a slight natural funk that blends with a touch of floral notes mid-palate. It gives it a slightly wine-like character.

    It's naturally sweet with hints of honey and brown sugar. The mouthfeel is exceptionally smooth, almost like glycerine, making it a pleasure to drink.

    Outstanding!

    Cupping Method:I did Chemex and Hario v60 at 18:1 and a couple different temps. The fireworks result was at 195F.

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: Cauca
Coffee from Cauca is celebrated for its exceptional quality and distinctive flavor profiles. This region's unique microclimates and high altitudes create the perfect conditions for cultivating coffee with vibrant acidity, complex fruit notes, and a smooth, velvety body. Cauca is home to some of the world's most creative and innovative coffee producers. These farmers employ cutting-edge techniques, such as extended fermentation processes and anaerobic processing, to enhance and diversify the flavors of their beans.
