Floresmiro Guaca produced the Colombian anaerobic natural coffee on Finca El Mesón, his farm located in the town of Acevedo, Huila in Columbia.

This pink bourbon coffee was fermented for 70 hours, sun-dried for 21 days, and finally mechanically dried for 8 hours at 40° C.

The result is a sweet and bubbly coffee with notes of Cherry, fudge, watermelon.

The pink bourbon variety is cultivated from a hybrid of Red and Yellow Bourbon, and is said to have been first found in Pitalito, Huila.

Quite a rare variety, Pink Bourbon has a substantial amount of natural sugars which are thought to help give the coffee it's more delicate, soft and complex profile.

How We Review Coffee?

We receive coffees from roasters throughout the UK to taste and review. All of our coffee reviews are our own words and thoughts, we don’t receive any form of payment for any of our reviews.

Our coffee reviews always start with an introduction to each independent coffee roaster.

At Batch, we are all about celebrating the incredibly talented roasters that we have in the UK and telling their stories. Each one roasting the coffee slightly different.

We then explore the origin of the coffee and take a look at where the coffee has been grown and the process that it has gone through once it has been picked.

Every coffee growing origin has a different set of characteristics when it comes to the final cup, whether it’s fruity and floral or chocolatey and full the origin of speciality coffee is always celebrated.

The last part of our coffee review is what we tasted in the coffee. Speciality coffee has some incredible flavour notes (more than wine), some dark and rich while others on the opposite end of the flavour spectrum are light and fruity, we try and explain what we taste in the coffee however like with many complex tasting foods or drinks it is also down to perception and personal opinion.

So if we have tasted orange zest and you get watermelon then that is brilliant and what we think speciality coffee is all about (as long as you like the coffee).

We then score the coffee on attributes like body, aroma, sweetness and flavour. Some of the coffees you may then find in our coffee club voted the best coffee subscription in the UK by the Independent.
