Story Process and Technique
Traditional washed with oxidation, depulping, open-tank fermentation, and gentle mechanical drying.
Pink Bourbon, a rare variety from Cauca, Colombia, is recognized for its pink cherries and genetic closeness to Ethiopian heirlooms. Its cup is elegant, floral, and fruit-driven, making it one of the most prized profiles in specialty coffee.
Harvest begins with careful handpicking at peak ripeness. The cherries first undergo a short aerobic fermentation in whole fruit to develop aromatic complexity. After depulping, a second controlled fermentation in parchment enhances the coffee’s bright acidity and clarity. The beans are then washed with fresh mountain water and gently dried at 38°C, before being stabilized in cool storage to preserve freshness and nuance.
As part of the Gstaad line, this Pink Bourbon Washed embodies the elegance and refinement that Gstaad represents: floral clarity, creamy texture, and citrus-bright acidity. It delivers a sophisticated and balanced cup that mirrors the Gstaad philosophy — classic, yet elevated.
