Colombia Diego Bermudez Pink Bourbon Farmlevel Reserve

Diego Samuel Bermudez and his team at Finca El Paraiso in Cauca, Colombia, have earned an internationally recognized reputation for pushing the boundaries of coffee processing while maintaining exceptional quality at scale. During our visit to their farm and mill this year, we were amazed by their meticulous attention to detail and their scientific approach to coffee production. Their team includes several engineers who leverage their academic expertise to design innovative and efficient post-harvest systems, unlike anything previously seen in the coffee industry.

In addition to their impressive hardware, the team has introduced intriguing processing terms like “thermal shock” and “anti-maceration,” which capture the curiosity of both new and seasoned coffee enthusiasts. Despite their experimental techniques, they continue to produce beautifully clean washed coffees that avoid overly “process-heavy” flavor profiles.

This extended-washed Pink Bourbon exemplifies their expertise, showcasing bright, complex acidity and remarkable juiciness. We are thrilled to feature this lot as our first purchase from their team and hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
