SEPTEMBER - Finca Tamana | Colombia - Washed - Pink Bourbon

SEPTEMBER Coffee Roasters is located in Ottawa, Canada

From SEPTEMBER

This is our first time working with Elias Roa of Finca Tamana and we hope it is the first of many. This Pink Bourbon is bright like grapefruit with a classic lemonade profile with delicate floral aromatics and a almond sweet finish.

In the cup

We get a profile of juicy grapefruit and citrus, and a familiar Pink Bourbon profile of florals and pink lemonade. This coffee has a sweet finish that reminds us of lemonade and a body that reminds us of almonds.

About The Producer

Elías Roa is a longtime coffee producer, originally from Acevedo, Huila. He still maintains a few coffee farms there, but Finca Tamaná in El Pital has become the crown jewel. It's there that he has honed his craft with more precise processing and better drying. Furthermore, he now cultivates a diverse range of varieties, including some older heirloom stock and even African varieties. Don Elias cultivates on 54 hectares total, 40 are currently in production, and his plots span an altitudinal range from 1650 to 1750 m.a.s.l During the height of the harvest, he employs up to 60 itinerant pickers from the departments of Caldas, Cauca, Manizales, and Tolima.

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.
