Palo de Rosa (Pink Bourbon), Colombia

Soft, sweet and delicately floral

The Profile

Palo de Rosa is a lovely Pink Bourbon from Huila, Colombia.

In the cup we tasted yellow fruits with a soft but lasting acidity. Lightly floral and intensely sweet, we are reminded of dried apricots and honeysuckle. With a delicately light body, top notes are amplified, with flavours of jasmine and peach iced tea reminding us of sunnier climes. The whole drink is carefully supported by a soft note of sweet spice, enhancing the flavour and creating complexity in a mouthwatering brew.

The Producers

Palo de Rosa is a regional lot, grown by 15 smallholder producers across La Argentina, Palestina and Pitalito in Huila, Colombia, on an average of 3-6 hectares of land. Approximately 60% of Colombia's producers grow on farms under 5 hectares in size. The producers that make up this lot were selected due to the greater attention they pay to agronomy and post-harvest management.

The varietal in this coffee is Pink Bourbon, a rare hybrid of Yellow and Red Bourbon. The "pink" gene is recessive, so takes a lot of effort to cultivate, but worth it for the delicate, floral cup it's known for. The cherries in this lot are harvested a little later than normal for greater ripeness, pushing the sweetness in this coffee further.
