FrontStreet Coffee · Colombian Pink Bourbon Coffee Origin and Flavor Profile

Pink Bourbon, as its name suggests, has romantic pink coffee cherries when mature.

It belongs to a very rare new variety, hybridized and cultivated from Red Bourbon and Yellow Bourbon.

The Rarity of Pink Bourbon

The reason Pink Bourbon is considered a rare variety is mainly because maintaining this beautiful pink color is extremely difficult.

Sometimes orange Bourbons are harvested, which is because the color of coffee cherries is ultimately determined by recessive genes in the pollen grains.

Among the pollen grains we selected for hybridization, there are both yellow genes leaning toward Yellow Bourbon and red genes leaning toward Red Bourbon.

All of these are recessive genes that can easily interfere with each other.

Cultivation and Production

Currently, Pink Bourbon can be found in Colombia and Guatemala.

Taking this batch of FrontStreet Coffee's Colombian Pink Bourbon as an example, with approximately 1,800 coffee trees, each tree produces about 1.8kg of fresh cherries per harvest season.

After processing to remove the pulp and skin, about 0.36kg of coffee beans are obtained. In a normal harvest season, the total production of this coffee is less than 650kg.
