Counter Culture Coffee - Retail Finca La Hermosa - Pink Bourbon Variety

Born and raised among coffee plantations, Max Pérez was acutely aware of both the risks and potential within the coffee industry. Driven by a desire to “make the coffee dreams come true,” he and his wife, Claudia, founded Finca La Hermosa in 2010. Situated on the slopes of the Acatenango volcano, the coffee farm benefits from fertile volcanic soils that nurture a diverse range of coffee varieties, including an entire “Gesha forest.” This coffee combines two distinct processing techniques - honey and natural sundried.

The Andes Mountains split into three ranges in Nariño, Colombia, creating stunning landscapes situated at ideal elevations for coffee production. On a high ridge in the eastern range, members of the Agrounidos coffee association take advantage of their natural resources to produce some of the best coffees in the region. We work closely with the association every year to select the best lots for our menu. This small Pink Bourbon selection is the best of this harvest, offering distinct, vibrant acidity and notes of rose hips & pink lemonade.

This coffee represents the continued evolution of a partnership we’ve maintained for nearly 2 decades. Growers in the Orgánica cooperative have focused on achieving the highest quality in every aspect of their production, including planting higher-quality, harder-to-grow varieties. This lot features their Pink Bourbon and Gesha selections. While the cup may not present the overt florals often associated with these varieties’ Ethiopian lineage, it offers a compelling expression of Colombia’s evolving coffee culture. Expect sweet flavors of raspberry and honey, balanced by a tea-like body.
