The pineapple note is pronounced and delightful, and the whole cup sips like oolong tea. In the cup: tea rose, pineapple, and panela sugar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PRODUCER\u003c\/strong\u003e Coffee has always been the Bolaños family's livelihood, but everything changed when Marlon enrolled in a barismo course at SENA at 17, learning brewing, green coffee evaluation, and sensory analysis — and realising his family's approach to production needed to change. At 21, Marlon founded Three Coffee Farmers with his brothers Hemerson (23) and Pedro (23). The trio began by differentiating the varieties grown on their farm, with Marlon refining processing methods through trial and error. Today, the three brothers make up an absurdly young trio of champions — Hemerson and Pedro manage crops and day-to-day farm work, while Marlon oversees processing, sample preparation, cupping, and commercial strategy. What began as curiosity has evolved into a commitment to continued learning, growth, and excellence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e Cherries harvested at peak ripeness are quality-sorted by density, then undergo a short 48-hour anaerobic fermentation in sealed tanks while whole. After pulping, they undergo an additional 48 hours of anaerobic fermentation in mucilage, before spreading in sun bed dryers for 20 days until reaching 11% moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe double 48-hour anaerobic fermentation — first whole, then in mucilage after pulping — is the defining step. It's what builds the clean, tea-rose aromatics and panela sweetness that define this cup, while the honey drying preserves the pronounced pineapple character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE CUP\u003c\/strong\u003e Clean, vibrant, and tea-like — tea rose aromatics lead, with panela sugar sweetness throughout and a pronounced, delightful pineapple note. The whole cup sips like oolong tea, a testament to three brothers just getting started.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e 🌹 Tea Rose 🍍 Pineapple 🍬 Panela Sugar\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Black \u0026 White Roasters","offers":[{"title":"Filter \/ 340g \/ August 27th","offer_id":58588401107318,"sku":"B\u0026W-MARLON-BOLANOS-PINK-BOURBON-HONEY-FIL-340G-AUG27","price":24.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0529\/9152\/5021\/files\/ilse_logo_1_-29-cropped.png?v=1788281342","url":"https:\/\/sigmacoffee.co.uk\/de\/products\/black-white-roasters-marlon-bolanos-pink-bourbon-colombia","provider":"Sigma Coffee UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
