Colombia El Recreo - natural pink bourbon

Alirio Rodriguez has been producing coffee for more than 30 years. He’s a third-generation coffee producer and, at the age of 15, he bought his farm, Finca El Recreo. Alirio transitioned to specialty coffee in 2018. He made the switch because of the low prices of commercial coffee and the desire to improve and expand his coffee production.

This Pink Bourbon undergoes a classic natural process, Alirio lays cherry on raised beds to dry. Cherry is raked frequently to ensure even drying. 

I still remember when we tried this lot on the cupping table with nice candy like sweetness and high acidity at the same time. A super nice and sweet naturally processed cup with medium funk level (lets say 7/10). Super juicy and fruity on filter but also works nice (if you can handle processed coffee on espresso) as a turbo shot.
