🔥 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 to light-medium roast, pulled before development runs too long, keeps the floral and berry character intact.
  • Watch for: A fragile, delicate variety, over-roasting flattens the Tulameen character fast, so it's better to slightly underdevelop than over-push here.

About this Coffee

Tulameen comes from Martha Solarte's Finca La Dulzura in La Unión, Nariño, a single-farm washed Pink Bourbon lot grown at 1640 masl.

Cherries undergo a slow, 36-hour submerged fermentation that coaxes out the lot's brightest character: deep raspberry and delicate floral top notes over a soft, tea-like body.

The lot is named after the Tulameen, a prized raspberry cultivar bred in British Columbia and famous among growers for its large, glossy berries and intensely sweet-tart flavor. It's the closest fruit analog we could find to what's actually in the cup.

Tulameen is one of the washed Pink Bourbons in our guide on how to source Pink Bourbon in Europe, from what Pink Bourbon brings to the cup to reserving and sampling a lot.
