Colombian Premium Huila Tarqui – La Cumbre – Pink Bourbon Washed

A great super clean Colombian offering. Great from light to dark roasts. Lighter roast points are very jazzy, citric/floral acidity mixing with a little soft fruit tone, pulling some balance with a sweet edged nuttiness. With the red fruit and more citric components, it makes us think pink lemonade upfront. Medium roasts get fuller bodied and smoother, slightly chocolaty with less crisp citric/floral tones than the lighter roast points. All the awesome tastes are still present.  Darker roasts will kill most of the crisp acidity but will retain a little hint of fruit as the cup cools. Much more chocolaty and robust at the darker roast points.

Description

A super fresh & stellar tasting boutique Colombian!

Aristides Guarnizo Cruz is a first-generation coffee farmer that owns and operates Finca El Progresso and La Cumbre with his family. After inheriting pasture from their father almost 10 years ago, Aristides and his brothers decided to enter the coffee business. Although their neighbors told them it was impossible due to the rocky terrain, high altitude, and constant winds, the Guarnizo brothers started the coffee-growing trend in El Libano, Tarqui. The aptly named Finca El Progresso has continuously improved its fermentation technique and farming practices. Recently, they have focused on self-made compost and microorganism teas to replace the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.

Pink Bourbon: Cultivated from hybridization of Red and Yellow Bourbon. It’s very rare, but the producers say it is quite resistant to rust. Pink and Orange Bourbons are very difficult to produce with consistency. The recessive genes leading to the expression of these colors are easily thwarted by the presence of yellow and red genes in a given pollen grain. A carefully isolated and contained lot can do quite well and preserve the unique color and character of this variety, though this is quite hard to find.

Tasting Notes: A great super clean Colombian offering. Great from light to dark roasts. Lighter roast points are very jazzy, citric/floral acidity mixing with a little soft fruit tone, pulling some balance with a sweet edged nuttiness. With the red fruit and more citric components, it makes us think pink lemonade upfront. Medium roasts get fuller bodied and smoother, slightly chocolaty with less crisp citric/floral tones than the lighter roast points. All the awesome tastes are still present.  Darker roasts will kill most of the crisp acidity but will retain a little hint of fruit as the cup cools. Much more chocolaty and robust at the darker roast points.

Roasting Notes: Good from light to dark but most will like a solid medium roast the best, good balance and smooth edges. Light roasts are equally as tasty but a little more on the acidic side, darker roasts are a much stronger cup and pick up some roasty tones but it compliments the cup nicely.

    If you like fruity tasting coffee, you will probably like this coffee. Too much fruit for me.
