Pink Bourbon coffee from Palestina, Huila, Colombia, grown at 1650 meters altitude on Rigoberto Sánchez's farm. This washed process begins with overripe cherry selection held for 12 hours, followed by depulping and 48-hour dry fermentation without mucilage in tanks, then dried in a greenhouse on raised beds. The cup exhibits bright acidity with mixed berries, lemon syrup, bergamot, and rose notes.
Shoebox Coffee Roasters is a Chicago based micro roastery focused on light roast profiles that emphasize acidity, complexity, and fruit forward flavors. Founded by Maxwell, who previously roasted for Jimmy Beans, the operation is built around sourcing and small batch production. Shoebox conducts origin trips to build direct relationships with farmers, including work with Hacienda La Papaya in Saraguro, Ecuador, sourcing varietals like Mejorado, Sidra, and Geisha. New coffee drops are released every Sunday, roasted and shipped fresh. It is a young roastery that has quickly earned a following in the specialty coffee community for the quality and intentionality of its sourcing.
