According to FNC (Federación Nacional de Cafeteros de Colombia) variety research, its exact genetic background is still under study, but it expresses the rich sweetness of Red Bourbon combined with the bright acidity of Yellow Bourbon.
Flavor Description
Natural processing gives this Pink Bourbon a rich, fruit-forward fermented sweetness. The dry aroma immediately offers fresh strawberry and raspberry notes. On the palate, rose tea florals unfold elegantly, followed by jam-like red-berry sweetness. The body is round and full, with a gentle cocoa sweetness in the finish.Market Presence
