Summary

A fresh-harvest Pink Bourbon from Finca El Espejo in Santa María, Huila, Colombia, produced by Reinel Borbon. The four-hectare farm sits at approximately 1,850 meters above sea level, where Reinel also grows Caturra and Colombia. This lot is honey processed, adding fruit and texture while keeping the cup remarkably clear. Tasting notes of pink citrus, peach lemonade, green apple and mango, with saturated sweetness and a lively, refreshing character somewhere between ripe tropical fruit and a glass of peach lemonade.
