VARIETAL

PINK BOURBON

Pink Bourbon is a rare coffee varietal prized for its unique flavour complexity and vibrant acidity. It typically offers floral aromatics, bright citrus notes, and a silky sweetness with hints of stone fruit and honey. Usually enjoyed as a filter brew, it delivers a clean, elegant cup with excellent balance and depth.

PROCESS

Washed

During the wash method, the outer skin and pulp of the coffee cherry is removed through depulping, leaving behind the mucilage-covered beans. The beans are then fermented to remove the mucilage before being washed and dried.
