What is Pink Bourbon Coffee?

Although the pink bourbon coffee variety was initially thought to be a hybrid of red and yellow bourbon strains, further research has shown that pink bourbon may be an unrelated Ethiopian landrace variety. With a sibling like the renowned geisha varietal, it’s no surprise that pink bourbon also boasts an incredible cup profile potential, plus plant disease-resistant characteristics to boot.

Although further research is required to scientifically verify pink bourbon’s heritage, you can enjoy the delightful flavor profile that this lot offers. Look for notes of nectarine, pear, melon, and citrus with a tea-like finish.

Green Coffee from Colombia

Over half a million families dedicate their livelihoods to producing unroasted Colombia green coffee on small farms that dot the country’s volcanic mountain ranges. As the world’s third-largest producing country, the volume, quality, and variety that comes out of Colombia year-round is staggering.

According to the USDA, the overall production growth of 6.1 percent for the 2023/2024 harvest remains modest due to reduced coffee renovation areas in 2022, driven by high coffee prices, leading to lower productivity. Dry conditions also negatively impacted young coffee trees and lower-altitude plantations, increasing coffee borer infestations and the production of smaller, underdeveloped beans. Colombia currently has around 840,000 hectares of coffee farms, mostly smallholder-run, with two peak harvest periods: the main harvest from October to December and the secondary “mitaca” harvest from April to June, primarily in the central coffee region. Coffee from Colombia is never dull, and with 16 coffee-producing regions along three mountain ranges and two harvests each year, Colombia always has fresh coffee on hand.
