After setting up multiple blind cuppings, we all seemed to focus on this one particular coffee that stood out from the crowd. At first sip we thought this coffee had to be either a natural or anaerobic process as it mimicked some of those signature traits. This sample, however, was vibrant with exceptional clarity; two things that don’t often mesh in a natural or anaerobic processed coffee. The incredible texture/viscosity of the mouthfeel, paired with notes of dark chocolate, blueberry and stone fruit, made this coffee exceptional on every pass. When the time came to reveal the sample, our team was taken back. This wasn’t a uniquely processed or long fermented coffee; it was a washed coffee. What made this unique is the Pink Bourbon varietal and the attention and care from producer Carlos Trujillo and the team at Finca Patio Bonito. The more we learned about this coffee the more our appreciation grew. We’re proud to launch the Limited Release Series with this truly exceptional coffee.
