Typical Cup Profile

The Pink Bourbon is celebrated for its incredibly sweet, clean, and complex cup profile. It features elegant floral aromas combined with a vibrant, crisp acidity reminiscent of pink grapefruit and red berries. Visually and sensorially unique, it often develops distinct notes of tropical fruits (like passion fruit and papaya), brown sugar, and a smooth, velvety body with a long, caramel-like finish.

Genetic Origin & History

A rare and striking natural hybrid, Pink Bourbon is a cross between Yellow and Red Bourbon. First discovered and meticulously isolated in the Huila region of Colombia, this variety stands out because its recessive genes require precise farming practices to prevent it from reverting to red or yellow fruits. Cultivating it is highly challenging, but the reward is exceptional cup quality and superior disease resistance.
