Luis Aguirre – Pink Bourbon

Luis Aguirre’s latest lot with Swerl is something special. If last year’s harvest impressed, this year’s is a clear step up—remarkably expressive and beautifully structured.

When Swerl first purchased coffee from Luis, he was relatively new to the specialty scene. At the time, the variety on his farm was unidentified and suspected to be a hybrid. Thanks to genetic testing by LaREB, it’s now confirmed to be Pink Bourbon (Rosado), a varietal prized for its clarity and complexity.

This coffee comes to Swerl through LaREB, a producer-founded collective of around 60 smallholders. Run entirely by farmers, LaREB handles everything from financing and logistics to quality control—cutting out intermediaries and keeping 80–90% of profits within Colombia.

Swerl is proud to stand behind this sustainable, producer-led model—and even prouder to share this standout coffee from Luis Aguirre.

Flavour Notes: Ripe Grapes, Cantaloupe Melon, Tropical

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.
