This coffee is a Pink Bourbon varietal grown by Luz Helena Salazar in the Armenia region of Quindio, Colombia. The coffee was cultivated at the Maracay farm at an altitude of 1400-1450 meters. It undergoes a fermented washed process involving 30 hours of underwater fermentation before pulping, followed by gentle washing and controlled drying. The beans are 100% Pink Bourbon, a rare varietal believed to be a mutation discovered at 2100 meters in San Adolfo, Huila. The coffee presents tasting notes of raspberry, lemongrass, and honey.
Bradley and Amelia started Horsham Coffee Roaster in 2012, roasting on a 1kg machine in their garage. The operation has since grown into a purpose built roastery in Burgess Hill, Sussex, where they roast daily on a Loring S35 low emissions roaster. They became the first UK roaster to sign The Pledge at transparency.coffee and maintain direct trade relationships in Rwanda, Kenya, Costa Rica, and Brazil. Most of their coffees score 85 or above on the SCA scale. They also co own Bond Street Coffee in Brighton, listed by The Telegraph among Britain's top 30 coffee shops. BBC Good Food named their subscription the UK's Best Ethical Coffee Subscription.
