Colombia — Francy Burbano Finca Buenavista Pink Bourbon (Washed)

Tastes Like — 🍈 Grapefruit • 🍋 Citrus Zest • 🍒 Cherry

DETAILS

  • Producer: Francy Burbano
  • Farm: Finca Buenavista
  • Region: El Tabor, San Agustín, Huila, Colombia
  • Varietal: Pink Bourbon
  • Process: Washed
  • Elevation: 1,800 masl
  • Harvest: Fall 2025
  • Recognition: 2025 Copa de Oro Finalist

INTRO
Francy Burbano was the only woman to place in the top 15 lots at the 2025 Copa de Oro Competition — a genuinely sweet and complex Pink Bourbon marking her first year as a finalist. Grapefruit and citrus zest lead, with a cherry sweetness rounding out the cup. In the cup: grapefruit, citrus zest, and cherry.

THE PRODUCER
Francy's farm, Finca Buenavista, sits in the rural township of El Tabor in San Agustín, Huila, at 1,800 masl. Though well-known for her Pink Bourbons — highly sought after by quality-conscious buyers — this marks the first year she's been a finalist in the Copa de Oro competition.

THE PROCESS
This lot is Washed, a method that removes the fruit before fermentation and drying — allowing Pink Bourbon's naturally bright, citrus-forward character to come through with clarity, building the grapefruit and citrus zest brightness that define this cup.

THE CUP
Sweet and complex — grapefruit and citrus zest lead the cup, with a cherry sweetness rounding out the finish. A competition-calibre showing from a Copa de Oro finalist.

About this variety

Pink Bourbon, also sold as Rosado, is often chosen for a bright, floral and fruit-forward cup. Tropical fruit, citrus and stone fruit are useful reference points, but the lot’s own notes should lead.

Why this one is different
  • Colombia
  • Huila
  • 1800 masl
  • Washed

Colombian Pink Bourbon often feels perfumed and lifted, with orange blossom, rose, bright citrus, peach or tropical fruit and a silky, tea-like finish. The reviewed coffees range from clean washed lots to naturals and co-ferments, where processing can push the cup towards candy, spice or deeper fruit. The producer's tasting notes are the best guide to this particular bag.

Washed processing can make acidity and variety character easier to read, although fermentation and drying choices still matter.

A little background

Pink Bourbon, also called Rosado, became prominent through Colombian specialty producers and is now grown across several regions. The reviewed selection shows why it is sought after: even with very different processes, floral aromatics, lively fruit and a refined texture appear repeatedly.

Identification note Pink Bourbon or Rosado is a widely used Colombian name, but genetic testing shows it is not Bourbon. Some tested lots also contained mixed plant material, so the producer's identification remains important for each coffee.

Classification Reported cultivar

Technical lineage Recent genetic testing places tested Pink Bourbon material with Ethiopian landrace coffee rather than the Bourbon family. The familiar name is retained because it is the name used by producers and roasters.

Variety is a guide, not a flavour guarantee. Lot notes are more specific.
