About the varietal: Pink Bourbon is a unique coffee varietal known for its distinct flavor profile and vibrant quality. Originated from Ethiopia, it thrives at high altitudes in Colombia and other coffee-growing regions. Its cherries develop a pink hue when ripe, attributed to specific genetic and environmental conditions. Pink Bourbon is prized for its complex taste, often featuring floral, citrus, and tropical fruit notes with a bright acidity and creamy body. Due to its challenging cultivation and lower yield, it is considered rare and highly sought after by specialty coffee enthusiasts. About the process: The washed coffee process, also known as the wet process, involves removing the coffee cherries' outer skin and pulp before the beans are dried. First, the cherries are harvested and sorted to remove any unripe or defective ones. Then, they are pulped, separating the beans from the fruit. The beans are fermented in water for 12 to 48 hours to break down the mucilage, a sticky layer surrounding them. After fermentation, the beans are thoroughly washed to remove any remaining residue. Finally, the clean beans are dried, either in the sun or using mechanical dryers, before being hulled, sorted, and prepared for export. This method produces a cleaner, brighter flavour in the final coffee.
