Sensory Experience

Orange Blossom Floral Black Tea Caramel Vanilla Mint

"Perfumed and tea-like, orange blossom and floral top notes over a black tea base, rounded out by caramel-vanilla sweetness and a cool mint lift."

🔥 Roaster's Insight

Roast approach: Pink Bourbon's high glucose content makes it prone to scorching and tipping, keep charge temp moderate and avoid pushing the rate of rise too hard early on. A light roast, pulled before development runs long, keeps the floral, tea-like aromatics from flattening out.
Watch for: This is a fragile, delicate variety, over-roasting mutes the citrus and floral lift fast, so it's better to slightly underdevelop than over-push here.

About this Coffee

Luis Carlos Gutiérrez runs the specialty side of his family's coffee production in Huila. He is not the landowner; his father is. But he is the one who took it off the commodity track: quality-driven processing, new varieties, small lots decided on the beneficio rather than at the coop counter.

This lot comes from Finca Bruselas in the Kennedy vereda near Pitalito, Huila: the same twelve-hectare plot behind our O'Henry natural, this time a washed Pink Bourbon.

Bergamot, this lot's name, is the citrus fruit behind Earl Grey tea, prized for its perfumed, orange-blossom aroma. It's a close match for the floral, black-tea, citrus character that defines the cup.
