We have been buying coffee from Juan Jiménez for years now, and he consistently produces some of the best Pink Bourbon in southern Huila. In the cup we find a bright, citrus-forward profile with apple blossom and lychee.

ABOUT JUAN JIMÉNEZ
Juan Jiménez produces some of the finest Pink Bourbon in southern Huila and consistently places in the top ten of the Copa de Oro competition. The event connects roasters and buyers with producers they may not have otherwise encountered, while also creating access to international markets that can be difficult to reach independently. We are grateful to our friends at Osito for their work organizing the competition, and to the producers behind the coffees we had the privilege to taste. We look forward to supporting this event for many years to come.
ABOUT PINK BOURBON
Pink Bourbon is a relatively new variety being grown primarily in and around Huila, Colombia. The variety has been identified genetically as an Ethiopian Landrace, but unfortunately, we cannot be any more specific as to its origins until there is a larger genetic database.

The cost of getting a coffee from cherry to beverage varies enormously depending on its place of origin and the location of its consumption. The inclusion of price transparency is a starting point to inform broader conversation around the true costs of production and the sustainability of specialty coffee as a whole.
