Bourbon coffee comes from Tibica, a natural variant of the coffee variety, and it is also a long-standing coffee variety, and both varieties belong to Arabica! General bourbon coffee is mainly from green fruit to ripe bright red fruit, which is what we have heard of "red bourbon". The fruit is relatively short and round, also known as "round bourbon". The density of pulp and seeds is high, and the sweetness is high and the acidity is bright! But in addition to red bourbon, there are actually yellow bourbon (Yellow Bourbon) and rare orange bourbon (Orange Bourbon) and rare pink bourbon (Pink Bourbon).

Now we can see pink bourbon in Colombia and Guatemala. The production of pink bourbon is very small, but it is resistant to leaf rust. At the same time, its yield is so unstable that it needs to be planted in isolation very carefully before it can be cultivated.

It is said that pink bourbon was first planted by a coffee farmer named Gabriel Casta?o in Huilan. At the beginning, it was mixed with other bourbon and Kaddura, and then it was picked and treated separately, and its cup performance is also very special. Different from the general flat flavor of bourbon, pink bourbon shows more citrus berry compound performance in acidity and flavor.

The small town of SanAgustin in the Huila region has a national archaeological park listed as a World Heritage site and is the area where the earliest human sites have been found in Colombia. From some stone figures similar to Asian faces, it seems that traces of early human migration can be seen, and the historical arrangement is really amazing, as well as the unique pink bourbon coffee produced here.

Everyone is familiar with yellow bourbon and red bourbon, but they may be a little strange to pink bourbon. Last year, a Colombian coffee cup test at the Hotelex exhibition in Shanghai was lucky enough to drink a kind of pink bourbon that killed many Colombian roses in summer. The coffee beans are planted at an altitude of 1700 meters and are washed and refined in St. Augustine Dome Manor in Huilan, Colombia.
