Colombia Patio Bonito Pink Bourbon Washed
Pink Bourbon is one of our favourite varieties to drink in house. We purchase hundreds of kilos every year of the stuff! This is our first time purchasing from Paola however, and we absolutely love her execution on this incredible variety. This lot is just as juicy as expected, but extremely delicate with lots of wonderful fruit notes that bounce along your tongue when drinking.
Patio Bonito is a hardworking and innovative family-run farm in Caldono, Cauca. Founder Carlos Arturo Trujillo has been a coffee farmer for almost 50 years, and he says, "It has been a long road, but in the end, it is very satisfactory." He is assisted on his farm by his daughter, Paola Trujillo, who has been especially integral in helping Carlos perfect the fermentation process for his coffee. Paola spent many years previously working as a cupper and buyer in Nariño and Huila for an exporting company. After returning to the farm in 2022, she has innovated how they process their washed and natural coffees, including “thermal shock” and anaerobic modulations to their processes.
