Sweet red fruits, candy-like, winey presentation. 

This is a super sweet and fun tasting Pink Bourbon coming from Jorge Rojas! We taste a very red fruit and heavy fruit presentation that reminds us of cherry candy. This is an interesting presentation of the Pink Bourbon varietal where the processing and fermentation is boosting and transforming the inherent flavor profile. In this case, the red fruit notes are very deep and candy-like in comparison to other traditionally washed processed Pink Bourbons!

We recommend you let this coffee rest for at least 2-3 weeks before brewing!

From Regalia:

Finca El Jardin is located in Tolima, Colombia, in the town of Planadas, and is managed by 4th generation coffee farmer. Jorge Elías Rojas. His story in coffee began when he was 13 years old, when his mother gave him the opportunity to be involved in the farm, giving him the chance to learn everything that was needed to run a coffee farm. When he grew up, he inherited part of his father’s farm, but also bought part of a neighbor’s land to create what is now Finca el Jardin.

Jorge developed his own fermentation and drying process, which starts with a very strict selection of coffee cherries during the harvest. Upon arriving to the wet-mill, the cherries are selected by hand to make sure remove immature and other low-quality beans. Afterwards, the coffee is placed in sealed tanks for 72 hours, then de-pulped and fermented again for another 38 hours in the same tanks. After this fermentation process, the coffee is washed or left to dry with the mucilage (honey).
