S&W Craft Roasting
Coatesville, IN, USA
A very balanced and delightful cup with flavor notes of guava, cherry, apricot, and longan. You can definitely pick up on the Ethiopia Landrace heritage of the Pink Bourbon, as this drinks like a washed Ethiopia. It's sweet, it's subtle, it's mellow, it's nice. Please note, this is a *very* light roast, and may not extract well using more traditional techniques. It also may be difficult to grind by hand or using entry level equipment. Will it Spro? Yes, but not how you may think. It needs a finer grind size than usual and IMO, let it flow! Fast shots will make sweet cherry lemonade, maybe with a lime spritz. If you aim for more traditional shots, it's tough to stretch them out - and it tastes like punching yourself in the mouth with a whole fist full of flowers (a bit over the top for my personal preference). Pink Bourbon varietal, grown by 14 smallholder farmers in Palestina, Huila region, fully washed, dried in solar driers for rain protection, 1600-1800 masl.
