Sourcing note

At the start of the Bourbon Project, we selected 13 contributing farms out of more than 100 that responded to the call.

Since 2023, the coffee has come exclusively from Gabriel Castano's Finca Granada, which year after year proves to be the most talented and consistent producer of pink bourbons in the region. Many thanks to him.

The exceptional terroir, the variety and the fermentation method, which involves oxidising the cherry for 48 hours before wet-pulping, give this coffee a distinctive and quite addictive profile.
