Finca Monteblanco by Rodrigo Sanchez - Cold Washed Pink Bourbon

This coffee is from Finca Monteblanco in Huila, Colombia, produced by Rodrigo Sanchez Valencia, a third-generation coffee farmer. The Pink Bourbon variety is processed using a cold washed method where cherries are selectively handpicked at 26-30 Brix degrees, floated, and visually sorted. After pulping, the coffee ferments in sealed GrainPro bags in an industrial fridge at 10-14 degrees Celsius for 76 hours. This cold fermentation slows microbial activity for unique flavor development. Following fermentation, parchment is washed and dried in direct sunlight on parabolic beds for 1-2 days, then moved to raised beds in the shade and raked frequently over 23-25 days. Flavor notes include lemongrass, floral, and raspberry.
