This coffee is a Pink Bourbon varietal from Colombia, grown in Armenia, Quindio at Villarazo farm at 1400-1450 meters altitude. Produced by Luz Helena Salazar, the coffee undergoes a 45-hour aerobic fermented natural process. Cherries are harvested following strict ripeness criteria, floated and hand-sorted to remove defects, then fermented for 45 hours before being moved to dry on raised beds. This micro-lot is 100% Pink Bourbon, a varietal currently under research, believed to be a mutation that took place at 2100 masl in San Adolfo, Huila. The coffee features tasting notes of passion fruit, cranberry, and dark chocolate.
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.
