George Howell Coffee

El Meson Summer Harvest, Colombia

El Mesón, located in southern Huila, Colombia, grows the distinctive Pink Bourbon variety—an Ethiopian migrant prized for its orange-pink cherries and delicate character. Hand-picked and slowly dried on rooftop beds, this washed coffee reveals striking clarity and balance with subtle notes of cherry, white honey, and unforgettable florals that rarely achieve such consistency. Produced by Luz Divia Fierro and Elpidio on a diversified farm they've built on formerly cattle-grazed land, this coffee represents a new generation of intentional Colombian producers. George Howell's partnership supports The Pickers Project, ensuring fair wages and protections for the skilled harvesters who make this quality possible.
