Yulieth Mora Pink Bourbon

A new Pink Bourbon! This time from notable female producer Yulieth Mora and her farm Villa Pastora. This coffee is so sweet and silky with tasting notes of aprium, raspberry jam, marzipan, milk chocolate, and lilac. We highly recommend snagging a bag while supplies last.

About the Pink Bourbon variety. This particular lot is a Pink Bourbon, a variety discovered in Colombia known for its intense floral notes, pleasant acidity, and a higher glucose content producing a sweeter, silkier cup. Unlike most coffee that is red when it ripens, the Pink Bourbon coffee cherry is pink when it ripens.

Farm Level Info. This microlot was grown by third generation coffee farmer Yulieth Mora on her coffee farm Villa Pastora in Palestina, Huila, Colombia. Yulieth Mora’s grandmother Pastora Anacona (the farm’s namesake) planted the farm’s first coffee trees in the 1980s and the family has since made a name for themselves as coffee producers dedicated to sustainable growing practices and differentiated, high quality coffee microlots. Villa Pastora is not only a hub of coffee production but also of community support for area coffee growers. They provide coffee education on various processing methods as well as drying/processing services to growers who lack the necessary infrastructure. This particular microlot was processed first with careful harvesting of ripe coffee cherries and cherry flotation, followed by a de-pulping of the coffee cherry and then a fermentation stage utilizing a strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast. The coffee was then patio-dried for 15 days.
