Asobombo

There is something so elegantly sweet and floral about a Pink Bourbon coffee and this lot is a shining example of this unique variety. Our Asobombo Colombia is a single varietal offering that is resplendent in tasting notes of pink lady apple, pear, almond butter and magnolia. First discovered and grown in Colombia, the Pink Bourbon variety is lauded for its intense floral notes and pleasant acidity. It also has a higher glucose content which produces a sweeter cup and silkier body. If you love a silky and sweet, easy-sipping coffee, this one is definitely for you.

Farm Level Info. This coffee was grown by farmer members of the Asobombo Cooperative in Pitalito in the famous coffee growing region of Huila, Colombia. Farms here tend to be slightly larger than other regions of Colombia (around 3 to 5 hectares compared to the typical 1 to 3 hectares.) Members and their families selectively handpick ripe red cherry and process the cherry on their farms. Coffee cherry is pulped in small handcrank pulpers and then fermented in tanks for 12 to 36 hours. The coffee is then washed and laid in parabolic beds or on patios to dry.
