Another flavor filled Colombia coffee!
This pink bourbon blend is from four different small producers in Colombia’s Huila Department. These farms are less than than 10 hectares each, and planted in a mix of varieties, including Pink Bourbon. Recent genetic testing has shown a link to Ethiopian landrace types, however that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not a Bourbon variant. What we can say is that it shows a phenotypical resemblance to Bourbon, and the cups can be syrupy sweet, aromatic, and bright, depending on where it’s grown. The farms that produced these lots are all very high altitude, reaching up to 2000 meters above sea level. The farmers belong to a coffee cooperative in Pitalito called “El Bombo”, which is also the name used for a broader growing region in this part of the Andes. The name comes from a local “Bombo” tree that produces seed pods with little spikes surrounding the exterior, a weapon of choice for schoolyard shenanigans! The El Bombo cooperative (“Asombombo”) works with hundreds of small coffee farmers across Colombia’s southern Huila and Cauca regions.
