SEPTEMBER - Edimer Ortega (Copa de Oro) | Colombia - Washed - Pink Bourbon

SEPTEMBER Coffee Roasters is located in Ottawa, Canada

From SEPTEMBER

This is our first year working with Edimer Ortega. This particular lot is the 5th place Copa de Oro central regionals. We are honoured and thrilled to showcase this spectacular Pink Bourbon.

In the cup

We get a juicy pink lemonade sweetness, a sparkling citric acidity that reminds us of grapefruit, and a delicate florality and a sweet finish that reminds us of maple.

About The Producer

Edimar Ortega has been growing coffee for 28 years. Working alongside his wife Luz Amparo and their adult children Yonatan and Daryani Edimar is currently cultivating Pink Bourbon and Bourbon Ají ir Tagua on five of the family’s total 32 hectares. Finca La Solita, where this specific lot was grown, and Finca Buenavista sit at 1,700 and 1,800 m.a.s.l respectively, in the vereda or rural township of La Palma, in the municipality of Suaza, located in central Huila. During the height of the harvest the Ortega family hires 10 to 15 local pickers and they employ three permanent workers.

Variety

Pink Bourbon is a variety primarily grown in Huila, Colombia, and while newer, it has quickly grown in popularity for its bright, sweet, and aromatic profiles. It is now known to be an Ethiopian Landrace variety.
