EL GIRASOL - COPA DE ORO

About This Coffee

Abelardo has quickly become one of our favorite producers in Huila. This is his Copa de Oro competition lot and the final harvest we will see from his farm this season. In the cup we find white lilac, hibiscus, and tamarillo. This is our second year purchasing coffee from Abelardo. After visiting him and his farm this year, we remain impressed by both his dedication and the quality of Pink Bourbon he produces. This coffee, in many ways, has redefined our expectations for this variety, and it is a true honor and joy to roast his coffee again. Pink Bourbon is a relatively new variety being grown primarily in and around Huila, Colombia. The variety has been identified genetically as an Ethiopian Landrace, but unfortunately, we cannot be any more specific as to its origins until there is a larger genetic database.
