This vibrant Pink Bourbon coffee is grown at Finca La Esperanza in Pitalito, Huila, Colombia, at an altitude of 1700-1900 meters. Managed by producer Carlos Ramón Díaz, the coffee cherries are hand-harvested and undergo an extended fermentation process, involving 45-50 hours of dry fermentation in tiled tanks followed by a triple wash and slow greenhouse drying. This light roast offers a zesty and tangy profile with winey fruit characteristics and deep lemonade-like sweetness. Tasting notes include grapefruit, lemonade, rosé, peach, and citrus sugar.
Color Coffee Roasters is the brainchild of Charlie Gundlach, who turned his backyard roasting obsession into a legit operation in Eagle, Colorado, back in 2016. They’re pretty geeky about the science, hence the name Color, which links specific tasting notes to actual colors in a spectrum. Yet, they keep the vibe super chill and approachable for everyone while hunting for that perfect sweet spot on their energy-efficient Loring roaster to let the natural terroir really pop. Plus, they’re big on sustainability and transparency, so you can feel good about drinking a cup that’s as kind to the planet as it is tasty.
