    About the farmer(s)

    Luz Helena Salazar - Pink Bourbon [washed] — Colombia

    Luz grew up in the area where she has her farm, La Leona. Luz has been coffee farming for 20 years, initially with the help of her husband Jairo Arcila, she quickly learned the ropes & now produces top-notch coffee herself.

    This lot was processed using the washed method. At harvest, coffee cherries are selectively hand-picked, floated in water to remove defects, de-pulped, fermented underwater for 30 hours & then dried on raised beds for 8 days in a parabolic dryer.

    This lot is 100% Pink Bourbon - Bourbon is a natural mutation of Typica originating from what was called Île Bourbon. The colour of the cherries can be either yellow, red, orange or in this case pink when ripe. The "pink" mutation was first noticed at a farm in San Adolfo, Huila, Colombia.
