Colombia Alexander Vargas Pink Bourbon

Alexander Vargas, a Cup of Excellence-winning producer in Huila, Colombia, specializes in Pink Bourbon—a unique varietal recently confirmed to share Ethiopian landrace heritage rather than traditional Bourbon lineage. Named for its distinctive pinkish cherry hue at ripeness, Pink Bourbon thrives as a native Colombian variety. Vargas's thoughtful approach to processing and drying yields a coffee with delicate floral aromatics, grape-like acidity, and subtle sugar cane sweetness. His commitment to varietal innovation and meticulous handling makes this a standout choice for specialty roasters seeking complexity and origin character.
