Colombia — Deyanira Avendaño

by Assembly

Colombia — Deyanira Avendaño The Pink Bourbon has played an influential role in Colombia’s ever-growing reputation as one of the world’s most valued coffee origins. Discovered by chance in the mountains of Huila around twenty years ago, this rare plant is a natural hybrid of the Red and Yellow Bourbon varieties prevalent across the country. Prized for the striking pink colour of its cherries, in the cup coffees of this variety often have flavour profiles distinctive in their florality, clarity and complexity. This specific coffee was processed with a honey washed approach in which the coffee cherries’ mucilage remained throughout 48 hours of controlled fermentation. The result is a silky, sweet flavour profile perfect for either espresso or filter brewing.
