Colombia Luis Aníbal Calderón — Pink Bourbon | Washed

Years in the making, worth every one — a sparkling, fruit-tea clarity from one of Huila's finest. This washed Pink Bourbon from Luis Aníbal Calderón at Villa Betulia in Acevedo, Huila is a coffee we've been working toward for years — tasting through samples, waiting for the right lot, and finally arriving here. It was worth it. Luis is a second-generation farmer and one of the most accomplished specialty producers in Colombia, and this lot is a shining example of what washed Pink Bourbon can be at its most expressive. In the cup, look for white peach, grapefruit, and hibiscus tea — sparkling, dynamic, and complex, like an exceptionally refined fruit tea that keeps revealing itself with every sip.
