Elder Castro — Colombia Washed Pink Bourbon
Elder Castro — Colombia Washed Pink Bourbon
We taste fresh red fruits that remind us of raspberries and strawberries, a balanced sweetness reminiscent of candy floss, and delicate black tea. This coffee has a light body and a round finish.

About the producer
Elder Castro Garcia is a coffee producer from the rural township of El Cerrito in La Plata. He has approximately 5,000 two- to five-year-old trees per hectare, regularly growing Colombia, Geisha, Pink Bourbon, and Sidra varieties. He also grows avocados and sells them locally.
Processing: This Pink Bourbon micro-lot is hand-selected and floated to remove lower-density beans, then placed in plastic bags for 36 hours. The cherries are de-pulped fully and dry-fermented for another 40 hours, then rinsed and placed on raised beds in a parabolic greenhouse dryer for 15–20 days.
