      Sebastián Gomez - Pink Bourbon [washed] — Colombia

      Sebastian had been living in Bogota for 8 years before returning home to take over the management of his father's coffee farm. His father had been growing commodity coffee, but Sebastian convinced him to plant coffees that receive a better income, like Geisha, Castillo & this Pink Bourbon lot. Sebastian & his wife now take care of all the farm & administration work. After harvesting, the coffee cherries were floated & hand-sorted to remove defects. The cherries were de-pulped, fermented under water for 30 hours, washed & then sun-dried on raised beds at temperatures not exceeding 35℃.

      Bourbon is a natural mutation of Typica originating from La Réunion [until 1848 known as Île Bourbon]. The coffee was planted in 1708 by the French who acquired seeds from the Dutch, who in turn acquired them from Yemen. Colour of the cherries is due to a recessive gene, they can be either red, yellow, orange or like this offering, pink when ripe. The "pink" mutation was first noticed at a farm in San Adolfo, Huila, Colombia. Bourbon is 1/3rd more productive than Typica.
