Roaster notes
PINK BOURBON — FINCA LOS CAPACHOS, FLORÉNCIA, CAUCA, COLOMBIA
THE CUP
Vibrant and refined, this Pink Bourbon from Finca Los Capachos showcases elegant balance. Expect bright citrus and red fruit tones, lifted by floral aromatics and framed by a smooth, structured sweetness. The cup carries a distinct mineral clarity - a reflection of the farm’s mineral rich soils - and a clean, juicy finish that lingers with precision.

THE PRODUCER
Eyder Martínez bridges science and craft. A biochemical engineer and part of the renowned El Paraíso team, Eyder brings a technical mastery to coffee processing while staying deeply connected to his roots. His grandfather, the heart of Los Capachos, manages the cultivation with decades of experience and a commitment to organic, regenerative agriculture.
Together, they’ve created a small but ambitious family project that honors both tradition and innovation. Native trees provide shade and natural compost for the coffee plants, creating a biodiverse environment that enhances soil health and fruit expression.
At Los Capachos, every cherry is picked and processed by hand — an act of care that reflects the family’s philosophy: quality is not a step in the process, it’s the process itself.
THE PROCESS
Ripe cherries are carefully hand-selected and depulped the same day of harvest. The seeds undergo a controlled fermentation before being thoroughly washed to remove mucilage. Drying takes place slowly on raised beds, allowing airflow and even dehydration while preserving the coffee’s nuanced acidity and layered sweetness.
The result is a clean and expressive washed Pink Bourbon, with crystalline fruit sweetness and refined balance throughout.
WHY WE LOVE IT
Finca Los Capachos represents the new face of Colombian coffee — where deep-rooted family farming meets modern scientific precision. This lot from Eyder and his grandfather perfectly captures that harmony: bright yet composed, elegant yet full of life, and unmistakably Colombian.

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 6-12 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 - should we have any left in stock!). 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.
What does 'Filter' or 'Espresso' Roast mean?
Typically filter is roasted lighter than espresso, though this is not always the case. Several factors play into what brands a Manhattan coffee as 'filter' or 'espresso', which includes the roast profile - i.e. how the beans are roasted, not just how developed a roast it is. It doesn't preclude you from using the beans for espresso though!
