El Oasis Washed Pink Bourbon
$15.00
A very special coffee from El Oasis, one of two farms in Gaitania, Tolima, where Nectario Zúñiga grew coffee alongside his wife and sons from 1982 until his recent passing. Rather than chase complexity in the mill, he put the work in at the tree, planting the varieties himself, managing his lots with intent. It holds a special place in our 2026 releases, both for its complexity of flavour and for green quality and grading among the best we receive from any Colombian lot, and for being one which represents a long formed relationship with Nectario and his family over many years of our sister lot El Oasis Lactic Natural Yellow Bourbon.
For this coffee the cherries were selectively harvested, hand sorted on farm, then floated to remove any remaining undesirable cherries. They were then packed into GrainPro for transport to Cofinet's facility, La Pradera, where they're floated again to ensure no low density beans remain, then given a 30 hour underwater fermentation before being pulped, washed, and dried on raised beds to 9.5 to 11% moisture.
