Santa Monica Pink Bourbon

About Santa Monica Pink Bourbon Honey Lulu

2024 Silver Medal winner. A rare Pink Bourbon with honey processing and a striking lulo fruit character.

Santa Monica is a Pink Bourbon variety from a single producer, honey processed for sweetness and clarity. Roasted weekly at our Hurstville roastery in Sydney. This is a coffee for filter drinkers who chase complexity — lulo (lulu) fruit, lime brightness, and an unusual condensed-milk sweetness in the cup.

- Lulo (lulu) — a tropical South American fruit, tangy and bright

- Lime zest and citrus finish

- Condensed milk sweetness on the body

Best for

Filter coffee drinkers who want something unusual. V60, Chemex, AeroPress, batch brew. Anyone who has graduated past chocolate-blend espresso and wants to taste what specialty coffee can really do. Best enjoyed black to experience the full lulo-lime-condensed-milk arc.
