This coffee is a Pink Bourbon variety from Finca Los Jazmines, located in Palestina, Huila, Colombia, at an altitude of 1,500 meters. Produced by José Lizardo Alba, the coffee undergoes an anaerobic fermentation process for approximately 76 hours, followed by a full wash and slow drying in a greenhouse for 18–20 days. The flavor profile features notes of bruleed grapefruit, lemon shortbread, orange soda, fresh red berries, strawberry preserves, and cherry blossom. It is a light roast coffee.
Color Coffee Roasters is the brainchild of Charlie Gundlach, who turned his backyard roasting obsession into a legit operation in Eagle, Colorado, back in 2016. They’re pretty geeky about the science, hence the name Color, which links specific tasting notes to actual colors in a spectrum. Yet, they keep the vibe super chill and approachable for everyone while hunting for that perfect sweet spot on their energy-efficient Loring roaster to let the natural terroir really pop. Plus, they’re big on sustainability and transparency, so you can feel good about drinking a cup that’s as kind to the planet as it is tasty.
