Colombia El Mirador Pink Bourbon
The cup has tart acidity, with resolute sweetness that pushes through in the aftertaste, an amalgam of raw sugars and honey, hints of green apple, dried apricot, with a lemon note that ties things together. City to City+.
Full Cupping Notes
The fragrance has layered sweetness of complex sugars, with accents of ripe fruits, and honey. The fruit aspects get a nudge in the wet aroma, though still not the leading characteristic. The steam smells of brown sugar and honey pistachio cookies, with a juicy apple-like accent. The cup is tartly sweet, with a resolute sweetness that pushes through in the aftertaste. The base flavor is an amalgam of raw sugars and honey, hints of green apple and dried apricot, and all adds up to nice complexity for washed Colombian coffee. I enjoyed the level of acidity at City roast level, where lemon highlights tie it all together. There's a tradeoff of some slight dryness in the aftertaste, but did not deter me from taking a second pass at that roast level! The finish at City+ is very sweet, and still pulls out some of those tart fruit aspects. This is one of two lots from El Mirador, the other being a Caturra variety that we will have later in the year.

Origin & Farm Notes
This coffee comes from a farmer named, Reinel Cerón, in the village of El Mirador, Pitalito Municipality. He's part of the El Bombo coffee cooperative in Pitalito, who have been serving farmers in the region for almost a decade. Reinel grows a few different varieties at his farm, including Pink Bourbon, which we're offering here. Pink Bourbon has mysterious roots, but is a type of Bourbon that ripens to a pinkish-orange color (more on the variety, here). His 1750 meter farm is planted with 6 hectares of coffee varieties, like Gesha, Chiroso, Colombia, and Caturra. We will bought a few bags of the Caturra as well and plan to make available later this year. Reinel ferments his whole cherries overnight before pulping, then ferments the pulped seeds in tanks for 24 hours.
