Pink Bourbon

From the first sip, this coffee is incredibly sweet, vibrant, and expressive. You'll find bright notes of pink grapefruit and juicy peach , balanced by the soft, creamy sweetness of vanilla bean . As a filter , the coffee is clean and refreshing, with delicate peach and grapefruit notes taking centre stage. Pulled as an espresso , it becomes fuller and more syrupy, bringing out deeper peach sweetness and a rich vanilla finish, with pink grapefruit adding a lively brightness.

This coffee is a testament to how meticulous precision processing can elevate both quality and flavour. Producer Adrian Lasso has become widely recognised for his innovative approach, most notably for his role in producing a coffee that won the World Barista Championship in 2024 . While the lot we secured is not the same competition lot, it reflects the same dedication, detail, and craftsmanship that Adrian is celebrated for. This Pink Bourbon is a standout example of modern processing at its finest-every step intentionally designed to highlight the variety's natural character and elevate the final cup experience.
