Intro:

Shoebox is excited to present Colombia Yenifer Rojas Trujillo Pink Bourbon Washed, a refined and expressive single‑origin coffee that highlights the unique character of Pink Bourbon grown in Colombia’s celebrated Huila region. This washed lot is bright, clean, and intensely floral — with fruit sweetness and aromatic complexity that make every filter cup engaging and memorable.

The Producer:

This coffee comes from Yenifer Rojas Trujillo, a dedicated producer whose farm Varietales sits high in Gigante, Huila. Yenifer’s deep commitment to quality starts in the soil — where careful intercropping with yucca and plantain supports soil health — and continues throughout harvest and processing. This lot marks Shoebox’s first purchase from Yenifer and its first collaboration with importing partner Primavera Coffee, reflecting confidence in her meticulous approach and the exceptional results it yields.

The Process:

The lot undergoes a washed process with carefully timed fermentation to balance clarity and sweetness. After harvesting ripe cherries, the coffee spends 12 hours submerged in water as whole cherries, then is depulped and fermented a further 48 hours in water. Once clean and fully fermented, the beans are washed and dried on traditional patios for about 15 days — a drying strategy that develops sweetness and preserves aromatic detail without over‑fermentation.

The Cup:

In the cup, Colombia Yenifer Rojas Trujillo Pink Bourbon Washed is bright, floral, and clean. The first sip reveals crisp Honeycrisp apple 🍎 sweetness with a laser‑focused malic acidity, while vibrant elderflower 🌸 and lavender 💜 aromatics bring perfumed depth. As the brew cools, subtle hibiscus, jasmine, and berry tones emerge, adding nuanced layers that linger gracefully on the finish.

Overall:

Shoebox’s Colombia Yenifer Rojas Trujillo Pink Bourbon Washed is a standout example of Pink Bourbon’s expressive potential when paired with thoughtful cultivation and precise processing. With its juicy fruit character, floral complexity, and clean structure, this coffee offers a deeply satisfying filter experience

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.
