German Peña - Colombia Washed Pink Bourbon (Copa de Oro)

Part of the Squall series, this series features more exotic coffees.

One of September's newest releases, a gorgeous Washed Pink Bourbon by German Peña

A standout Pink Bourbon from German Peña—lush, sweet, and strikingly expressive. The cup opens with a jammy red berry aroma, followed by muscadine grape, black cherry, and passion fruit. Dense and fruit-forward with a strawberry reduction vibe, balanced by bright, articulated acidity and a heavy, rounded mouthfeel.

German grows on Finca El Roblar with his wife and kids, supported by extended family who live nearby. What started as a bare patch of high-altitude land—once used only for animals—has become the base for some of Colombia’s most exciting coffees. This lot placed 4th at Osito’s Copa de Oro this year, and it’s easy to see why. Small volume, big impression.

Flavour Notes: Blackberry, Juicy Citrus, Floral

What is the roast recency?

We recommend brewing with beans that are at least two weeks off roast. All beans are roasted to peak flavour at around 8-12 weeks. We have the option to either purchase standard beans (at least 2 weeks but no longer than 6 weeks off roast), or rested beans (at least 7 weeks off roast, no longer than 12). For peak flavour, if you are looking to use immediately, we recommend purchasing the rested beans. If you are adding to your rotation of beans, we recommend purchasing the standard and allowing the beans to naturally rest and mature whilst you rotate through other beans.
