This washed Pink Bourbon from Finca Monteblanco is a vibrant and expressive example of how producers through thoughtful processing and growing can produce variety-driven character. Bright, playful, and incredibly clean, this coffee balances candy-like sweetness with crisp tropical acidity, making it both eye-catching and dangerously drinkable.

Rodrigo Sanchez is one of Colombia’s most respected and innovative producers. Based in Huila, he has spent years refining both agronomy and processing at Finca Monteblanco, pushing the boundaries of what Colombian coffees can express while remaining deeply rooted in terroir. Rodrigo’s work with rare varieties like Pink Bourbon has helped redefine the region’s reputation for clarity, sweetness, and complexity.

This lot is fully washed, allowing the intrinsic qualities of Pink Bourbon to shine. Ripe cherries are selectively harvested, depulped, and fermented under carefully controlled conditions before being thoroughly washed and slowly dried. The result is a coffee with exceptional clarity, high aromatic lift, and a polished, transparent structure.

The cup opens with a burst of pink bubblegum sweetness. As it cools,  starfruit acidity brings a crisp, tropical brightness, while lemongrass adds a clean, citrus-herbal edge that keeps the profile lively and aromatic. The finish is light, with sparkling acidity,  showcasing why Pink Bourbon remains one of Colombia’s most exciting varieties.
