Borbón rosé

About This Coffee

Borbón rosé is an exceptionally rare specialty coffee variety known for its unique pink-colored fruit on the tree, which never ripens to the typical red cherry. This rare mutation creates an intense and delicate acidity in the beans, often expressing flavors of apple and papaya. It is considered one of the finest and most expensive coffee varieties available, with auction prices reaching £108 per kg in 2016. The coffee is sourced from Colombia and represents a luxury single origin offering.

The Colombian Coffee Company

The Colombian Coffee Company is a London based social enterprise founded in 2016 by Eduardo Florez and Gabriela Oakley. Eduardo grew up in Colombia experiencing poverty and conflict firsthand, and together with Gabriela, who had lived and worked in the country, they set out to build direct relationships with small farms affected by decades of civil war. They work exclusively with single origin Colombian beans that score above 85 on the specialty grading scale, roasting light to showcase fruity aromas and complex flavours. They pay above market prices and go beyond Fairtrade standards, reinvesting profits into local social projects and community development initiatives in Colombia. The company highlights individual varieties such as Caturra, Borbon, Tabi, and Gesha rather than treating Colombian coffee as a single category. Their coffee can be found at Borough Market and other London locations.
