Pink Bourbon – La Primavera, Colombia

It’s no secret—we love bourbon coffees. Naturally sweet, full-bodied, and endlessly expressive, they check every box we look for in a great cup. This Pink Bourbon from La Primavera is new to us, and while we might still be in the honeymoon phase, it has quickly become a standout favorite.

In the cup, expect a vibrant and juicy profile with notes of strawberry, creamy peach, pineapple tepache, and brown sugar. It’s both playful and structured—fruit-forward without losing that signature bourbon depth.

This coffee comes to us through our friends at Sudus Coffee, where sustainability is more than a buzzword—it’s built into every step of their process. By planting flower corridors among coffee shrubs, Sudus supports healthy pollination, reduces the need for insecticides, and naturally boosts production. It’s a thoughtful approach that benefits both the ecosystem and the quality of the coffee.

La Primavera is a small, second-generation farm located in Huila, Colombia. Once cattle pasture, the land began its transformation in the mid-1990s with the planting of traditional varieties like Caturra and Castillo. By the early 2000s, the focus shifted toward quality-driven production, including the introduction of Pink (or “rosé”) Bourbon. Today, the farm spans diverse processing methods—from washed to natural—and includes eight hectares of preserved natural reserve.

Behind the coffee is producer Ancelmo Chinchilla, whose roots in coffee run deep. Raised working alongside his father in the fields, Ancelmo later studied agricultural engineering and gained experience in fertilizer development before launching his own coffee project. Since 2005, he has focused on specialty coffee production, combining hands-on cultivation with ongoing research into agricultural tools that improve efficiency and quality of life for producers.

This is a coffee that reflects care at every level—from soil to cup—and we’re excited to share it with you.
