Coffee

This exceptional micro-lot comes from Arley Vargas's farm, La Piragua, nestled in the highly-regarded growing region of Huila, Colombia. Arley is a dedicated producer focused on high-quality, specialty varieties, cultivating his crop at elevations ranging from 1600 to 1800 m. This high-altitude environment, combined with the favorable microclimate of Huila, allows the Pink Bourbon variety to develop its unique and complex flavor profile slowly and fully, resulting in a cup of remarkable clarity and sweetness.

The variety is a sought-after hybrid known for its vibrant complexity and incredible cup quality, often surpassing traditional Caturra or Typica. This lot has been processed using the Natural method. The cherries are carefully harvested and then dried on raised beds, allowing the fruit pulp to slowly impart its sugars and complex notes into the coffee. This labor-intensive process is crucial for achieving the intense fruit-forward character and heavy body that distinguishes this coffee.

Arley’s Pink Bourbon is designed to showcase the inherent characteristics of the coffee and the influence of the natural process. Expect a truly unique and bright cup with an abundance of tropical fruit and floral notes. The natural process lends a pleasant, wine-like acidity and a smooth, syrupy body, leading to a clean and sweet finish. This coffee represents a perfect balance of varietal potential, meticulous processing, and dedicated farming, making it a truly stand-out offering.
