The Colombia QUINDÍO from the Vienna-based roaster Koun Coffee demonstrates why the Pink Bourbon variety is gaining increasing attention among specialty coffee enthusiasts. In the cup , juicy mandarin meets delicate, creamy vanilla and a pronounced natural sweetness. The aftertaste is clean, sweet, and pleasantly long-lasting. With an SCA score of 87 points, this is an accessible yet complex filter coffee, distinguished primarily by the harmony of its fruitiness, sweetness, and delicate creamy character.
Behind this coffee is producer Diofanor Ruiz and his farm, La Divisa, located in the Quindío region of Colombia, specifically in the Buenavista area. Quindío is one of Colombia’s traditional coffee-growing regions, and the local conditions create an ideal environment for cultivating high-quality specialty coffee. The La Divisa farm grows the Pink Bourbon variety, which is prized for its exceptionally sweet, clean, and complex flavor profile, blending sparkling floral notes, pronounced tropical fruit, and honeyed sweetness.
The coffee undergoes a washed processing method, in which the pulp is removed after harvest and the beans are then washed with water to remove any remaining pulp and fermented substances. After thorough drying, a clean flavor profile emerges, allowing the character of the variety and its origin to shine through. In the case of Pink Bourbon from the La Divisa farm, this processing method is reflected primarily in a bright mandarin flavor, a delicate vanilla aroma, and a long, sweet aftertaste.
