About This Coffee
Sweet, fresh, and full of life — this washed Pink Bourbon from Finca La Piragua in Huila is an exceptional expression of Colombia’s vibrant terroir. Farmer Alexander Vargas Osorio tends his trees with care and precision, cultivating this rare and delicate variety at high altitudes where cool nights and rich soils nurture complex flavour development.

Each cherry is hand-picked at peak ripeness before being pulped, fermented, and washed to achieve clarity and brightness. The beans are then sun-dried on patios or raised beds, occasionally finished in mechanical dryers to ensure even moisture levels.

The result is a refreshing and elegant coffee that dances between fruit and sweetness — zesty lemon and orange, the gentle sweetness of floral honey, and the comforting finish of spiced Lotus biscuits and black tea. Perfect for moments when you want a coffee that’s both refined and revitalising.

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.
