INTRO
Pink Bourbon #00310 by CGLE fully captures the distinctive vibrancy of this unique hybrid variety, cultivated with an ecological approach at Potosí to create a cup with standout sweetness and a complex layering of aromatics, closing with a long, silky-smooth finish. In the cup: blackberries, strawberry, and cherry.

THE PRODUCER
Café Granja La Esperanza began with the Potosí farm in Valle del Cauca in 1945, primarily cultivating Yellow Bourbon, Red Bourbon, and Caturra varieties. A sustainable development orientation, a spirit of constant innovation, and a love of coffee have shaped the path Café Granja La Esperanza has followed ever since. The producer remains committed to organic specialty coffee cultivation, gradually expanding through successive farms like Las Margaritas and La Esperanza.

THE PROCESS
This lot is a Natural — cherries are dried whole, allowing the fruit to impart its character directly into the bean. This approach, paired with the ecological farming philosophy at Potosí, is what builds the blackberry and strawberry sweetness that define this cup, with cherry rounding out the layered fruit profile.

THE CUP
Vibrant and distinctly layered — blackberries and strawberry sweetness lead, with cherry depth through the middle, closing on a long, silky-smooth finish.
