Colombia Pink Bourbon Ají washed Cauca Colombia. El Pariaso / Diego Bermudez
CUP PROFILE: Honeysuckle • Tropical • Savory
Taste:
A delicate and lively cup, this coffee unfolds with mild yet expressive tropical notes. At first sip, bright red fruits and a whisper of rose emerge, carried by a smooth, light body. The lingering finish leans savory with a subtle sweetness, while deeper tropical tones of guava, mango, and pineapple add dimension. As it cools, herbal nuances surface, alongside a playful, melted-gummy-bear softness. Its not a really high acidic coffee tends to me for savory.
This cup reveals a chuggable, effervescent quality—like lemon-lime spritz over stone fruit and peach cobbler. The wet aroma hints at buttery honeysuckle, setting the stage for a vibrant yet dissolving experience that echoes the complexity of Mejorado.

We had the Columbia Pink Bourbon Aji 3 weeks after its roast date. It was prepared using a Baratza Encore 16 grind size then as a pour over in a Clever Coffee Dripper with a 4:30 min brew time. Aromas across the board were awesome. Whether the extra week since roast played a role or not is not clear but it’s dry aroma was like chocolate covered orange slices. Wet aroma converted it to a balanced lemon zest with natural grape notes. Its taste was velvety and almost sweet especially as it came to room temperature. This was a coffee that could easily find it’s way into a specialty shop.
