Perla Negra - Pink Bourbon

OriginColombia
Roast levelLight
ProcessAnaerobic, Double Fermentation

Summary

An exceptional Pink Bourbon microlot from the Perla Negra farm in Pitalito, Huila, Colombia, cultivated by Sigilo at 1,780 meters above sea level. The coffee undergoes double anaerobic fermentation: 48 hours as whole cherries, then 48 hours with mucilage, finished with a thermal shock to preserve volatile aromatics. The cup is clean and elegant with lively juicy acidity, creamy syrup-like mouthfeel, and flavors of green grape, banana, orange, and lemon zest, with hints of lemongrass, vanilla, and brown sugar in the aroma. Cupping score 87. Recommended for filter brewing.
