What a lovely and unique lot from Wilson Alba this year. His Pink Bourbon is consistently one or our favorites each season. This harvest of Bourbon Rosado is full of red berry sweetness and a firm acidity.  Medium+ body, medium+ acidity with high sweetness. We get notes of ruby grapefruit, raspberry, red current, green strawberry, lemon with a long, delicate floral finish. 

Don Wilson Alba Córdoba is a third generation coffee farmer. He lived & worked with his brother Jose on the farm Sierra Morena for 15+ years.  Wilson's coffee farm projects have now grown to 13 hectares (~32 acres) in total and still growing!  He now manages two farms, Fincas Sierra Morena & El Cedro consistently produce some of the best coffees we taste out of Southern Huila. They employ 20 local pickers annually during main harvest, which came early this year in May-June. Cherries were picked at peak ripeness. Fermented in-cherry for 15 hours, depulped, washed and barrel fermented for another 15 hours. After a rinse, this Pink Bourbon was dried in parabolic greenhouse solar dryers with raised beds until moisture content reached an even 10%. A professionally harvested and processed lot by some of the most seasoned granjeros. 

Our coffees are best after two weeks+ of the roast date.
