Flower Child Coffee
Oakland, CA, USA
This Bourbon Rosado from Servio Tulio Botina Quinayas and his team at Finca El Cedro is one of the most dynamic Pink Bourbon lots we've encountered. The aromatics of the coffee are big with a berry-medley-mash. In the cup, there is a plethora of dark purple and red fruits with notes of pluot, strawberry, currant & cranberry. As it cools the structure goes from round and glossy to feeling firm with a citric acidity. Overall the sweetness is pleasurable and the acidity captivating. Servio was an award winner at the Copa de Oro this year. His work really stood out to us, veering from the popular pulpy profile that tends to take titles. It's clean, complex and simply enjoyable to drink. This is due to so many painstaking details; proper cherry selection, held in cherry for a day, pulped, fermented for a day and half and dried meticulously. The daily tending, fertilizing and irrigation work led to a full flowering and rich fruiting. This kind of quality takes years to cultivate. Servio has been working in coffee his entire life and has had his farm El Cedro for 7 years. In a recent interview he said wants to continue to improve his quality and add more trees to his operation. All this done in a most magical part of Colombia - San AgustĂn.
