Background:
Moises Chaguala and his family live and farm coffee on Finca El Recuerdo. They’re focused on specialty coffee production and are working on improving their coffee quality to produce more specialty microlots. Their farm’s high altitude of 1,750 meters above sea level creates the ideal conditions to cultivate sweet, dense cherry.
Moises has been producing specialty coffee since 2013 when he received Pink Bourbon seedlings and was encouraged to plant them. Some reports indicate that Pink Bourbon has a higher sugar content, mainly glucose, leading to a sweeter coffee.
Moises and his family selectively handpick ripe red cherry and process coffee on their farm. After sorting picked cherry, they pulp and wet ferment coffee for 60 hours. Following fermentation, parchment I washed in clean water and laid to dry. Moises and his family rake parchment frequently to ensure even drying. It takes approximately 20 to 30 days for parchment to dry.
Pink Bourbon was previously thought to be a hybrid of Yellow and Red Bourbon varieties. The variety was first identified growing in and around Huila, Colombia. Recent research has found that Pink Bourbon is in fact not Bourbon at all. Pink Bourbon mostly likely comes from an Ethiopian landrace variety.
Pink Bourbon has a stunningly high cup potential that wows coffee professionals and consumers alike. Its impressively high cup quality makes even more sense now that we understand Pink Bourbon is not simply a hybrid of two Bourbon varieties but traces to Ethiopian landraces. Its siblings include the highly-prized Geisha, which has consistently produced incredibly high cup scores. Pink Bourbon will continue to be a highly distinguished and valued variety.
Some farmers also report that Pink Bourbon has more disease resistance than the Bourbons it grows alongside. Based on these new discoveries, this may be due to the genetic variety it has coming from Ethiopian landraces.
