We are excited to offer a coffee from Marlon Bolaños. We find this coffee delivers an incredibly velvety body, with undertones of tart berries and notes of semisweet chocolate. While it truly shines as a filter coffee, it also boasts a flavor profile well suited for espresso.

This Pink Bourbon Honey was sourced through Unblended Coffee in Colombia, and it has been a pleasure working alongside them to bring this coffee into our roastery.

More about this coffee: 

Marlon’s primary focus on the farm is to develop innovative coffee products that are not only high quality but also scalable, allowing more producers and roasters to benefit from them. With this Pink Bourbon Honey, his goal was to enhance the natural sweetness and fruity complexity of the coffee, creating a cup that is both approachable and distinctive. The processing begins with a two-day fermentation, carefully monitored to bring out the coffee’s bright fruit notes without overwhelming its balance. After fermentation, the coffee is depulped and stored in closed tanks for an additional two days, allowing the sugars and flavors to fully develop. The result is a coffee with an extraordinary sweetness, complemented by juicy notes of strawberry, delicate hints of red rose, and a rich chocolatey body. The lingering aftertaste is smooth yet layered, offering a complex and memorable cup.

In depth processing information:

The cherries are harvested and sorted by density. Then added into plastic and closed tanks and fermented for two days, later depulped and fermented again in closed tanks without water for two more days. It is then dried on sun bed driers for 10 to 15 days, depending on the weather they finish the drying phase in mechanical driers to reach 11% moisture.
