FrontStreet Coffee - Colombia Pink Bourbon Washed Brewing Parameters

In most people's impression, Colombian coffee has always been known for its balance and subtle acidity. Due to its balanced flavor profile and affordable price, it's often used as a base coffee. However, we're here to refresh your stereotype of Colombian coffee - it's not just about balance anymore. It can also possess rich fruity notes, ranging from peach, citrus, and raspberry to floral, vanilla, and black tea...

Explosive juiciness is no longer an exclusive characteristic of African beans. Some excellent coffee farms or cooperatives with small production areas and limited cultivation are continuously refining their research on the cultivation and processing of special specialty coffee varieties. This has allowed Colombian coffee to develop a more distinct personality while maintaining delicate texture, rounded acidity, and sweet aftertaste. Some specially processed rare varieties will leave you even more unforgettable.

Pink Bourbon from Huila Region

The Pink Bourbon from the Huila region is first and foremost a bean that tastes "un-Colombian." Why say that? Because its drinking sensation somewhat resembles Kenyan coffee, with bright red fruit acidity.

Pink Bourbon is a hybrid of Red Bourbon and Yellow Bourbon. The success rate of hybridization is relatively low, making Pink Bourbon quite rare. It has strong disease resistance. While Yellow and Red Bourbon coffees have relatively stable reproduction, the new variety Pink Bourbon resulting from their hybridization is difficult to produce consistently. Due to the challenges in cultivation, estate owners handle the processing with extreme care. All washing and drying are conducted on rooftops, with freshly harvested fruits processed immediately, ensuring that the washed coffee presents exceptional flavor clarity.
