A slow morning with the windows open. Mandarin, honeysuckle, and the deep, round sweetness of panela. Just enough fruit to keep it lively.

Pink Bourbon is a Colombian variety, named for the soft pink blush of its ripe cherries. Marlon Bolaños, 22, grows it with his two brothers at 1,670 meters in Acevedo, Huila.

The cherries are sorted by density, then rest two days in closed tanks. After depulping, the seeds ferment two more days, sealed, with no water added. Then they dry in the sun for 10 to 15 days, the honey still clinging to them.

Two short fermentations. The cup stays clean to the last sip.

Origin: Acevedo, Huila, Colombia
Farm: The Three Coffee Farmers
Producer: Marlon Bolaños
Elevation: 1,670 MASL

Marlon Bolaños grew up in a coffee family. At 17, a barista course showed him what coffee could become. Now 22, he farms with his two brothers as Three Coffee Farmers, planting Pink Bourbon, Geisha and Chiroso and refining fermentation by trial and error. The spring on his farm runs through rock, and other growers call it champions' water. He's a mentee in Unblended's Young Producers Program, and he's chasing a lot good enough to win at auction.
