SIERRA MORENA - 3RD HARVEST

About This Coffee

This lot comes from the third harvest pass at Sierra Morena this season. It is bright, crisp, and sweet, with pointed lemonade-like acidity, red currant, and hibiscus. For the past 15 years, Wilson Alba has lived and worked with his brother Jose (whose coffee we have also purchased) on their farm, Sierra Morena. Spanning eight hectares (~20 acres), the farm is planted with two hectares of Pink Bourbon and the rest in Tabi. Sierra Morena consistently produces some of the finest Pink Bourbon we taste from southern Huila, and it is an honor to roast and share their exceptional coffees. 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.
