Pink Bourbon is no doubt one of our favourite varietals to enjoy from Colombia. This beautiful coffee is everything we love about Pink Bourbons: it is floral, bright, but delicate at the same time, offering a nice contrast to the more flavour intense coffees we currently have in our inventory. Miguel’s farm is called El Triunfo and it is located in the Garzon municipality of Huila. His Pink Bourbon trees were grown in 2022, and this is one of the first few harvests.
This coffee is part of a project between Nordic Approach and Coocentral, a Huilan coffee cooperative established in 2005, to improve coffee quality and the well-being of producers. This isn’t just lip service paid to the grand intentions behind adding value in specialty coffee. Coocentral puts its money where its mouth is, with 2.8 million USD invested in social programmes for producers since 2005. Coocentral has been active in supporting producers, giving technical assistance, and empowering them through initiatives like providing support for university education, natural disaster insurance, pension funds for producers, and healthcare. Producers under Coocentral’s arm receive 100% of the premium paid above the current market and daily purchasing prices.
