Colombia Linarco Rodriguez Pink Bourbon - Transparency Report

This transparency report shares the sourcing and pricing information behind our Colombia Linarco Rodriguez Pink Bourbon coffee. As part of Rumble Coffee's Transparency Project, we publish what we paid for every coffee we sell, as well as key information about the producer or producer group, farm, and the coffee itself. 

About Tierra Diversidad

This Pink Bourbon comes from Tierra Diversidad, a collaborative network of 117 smallholder producers in southern Huila committed to quality, sustainability and full traceability. At its heart is Linarco Rodríguez, affectionately known as "Don Lino", whose leadership has helped elevate coffee production across the region. By sharing infrastructure, knowledge and resources, the group empowers producers to refine their craft while preserving traditional farming practices and protecting the extraordinary landscape that makes Huila one of Colombia's most celebrated coffee regions.

About Don Lino

Don Lino's influence extends far beyond his own farm. He has helped introduce more precise harvesting, fermentation and drying techniques throughout the Tierra Diversidad network while mentoring younger producers and championing environmentally responsible farming. This washed Pink Bourbon reflects that collective commitment to quality, showcasing the variety's refined elegance with remarkable clarity. The result is a beautifully balanced cup, where floral aromatics, delicate citrus and crystalline sweetness come together in a coffee that's both expressive and effortlessly drinkable. Just delicious.

Transparency and coffee pricing

Pricing Comparison

Pricing Explained

FOB (Free on Board)

This is the FOB (Free On Board) price: the price paid to the exporter before international shipping, and which does not include shipping costs, weight loss (around 17%), storage and other charges. Ultimately, the FOB price represents the figure that stays in the coffee's country of origin, benefiting its producer, community, and beyond. 

We publish FOB in both $USD/lb, the standard used for international coffee pricing, as well as $AUD/kg to make the price easier for Australian customers to understand.

Farm Gate Price

The Farm Gate price is the raw price paid directly to the producer, and paid in the local currency for parchment coffee. The coffee is then milled and sorted before being placed in bags, ready for shipping. In some cases, the Farm Gate price is marked as N/A. This is typically when we purchase the coffee through a co-op or a collective of producers.

Market Price

This is the global commodity coffee price at the time of purchase (known as the 'C Market') which is commonly used as a benchmark for coffee prices around the world. 

Fairtrade Price

The Fairtrade price is the minimum set by Fairtrade International for certified coffee. It's a safety net when the market price is low, but it isn't designed to reward coffee producers for the quality of their coffee. We include it because it's a recognised industry benchmark, against which to compare the price that we paid.
