This unique micro-lot is composed entirely of the prized Pink Bourbon varietal. The origin of this exquisite varietal is unknown, however is speculated to have originally been a varietal mutation occurring at an elevation of 2100 MASL in San Adolfo, Huila. All we know is that the pink bourbon varietal results in a truly delightful cup of specialty coffee.

LUIS' FARM - A STORY OF PERSISTENCE.

Luis Anibal Calderon's specialty coffee, grown at his Villa Betulia farm, (which Rumble roaster Alex, had the pleasure of visiting late last year) is a triumph of persistence and passion. His journey, from near-closure to a beacon of exotic coffee varietals (including this Pink Bourbon), is a testament to his commitment.

In 2011, Luis faced the possibility of losing his farm to foreclosure. His main source of income at the time was selling coffee on the C-market, where the commodity prices barely covered production costs and loan repayments for the land purchased to expand his farm. In search of a solution, Luis turned to his local Specialty Coffee Association. 

Although their offer to pay 15% above the C-price did not truly compensate for the extra efforts of producing specialty-grade coffee, it provided enough to sustain him and sparked his interest in this specialty sector of the coffee industry. Motivated, Luis planted 5,000 Geisha trees in 2012. After a long three-year wait for the trees to fruit, he became a firm believer in the specialty coffee sector.

In 2015, Luis set out on a mission to convert his entire farm to exotic coffee varieties. More than half a decade later, his farm, Finca Villa Betulia is a model for specialty coffee production in Acevedo, Huila. He now grows a range of exotic coffees including Red Gesha, Sidra, Wush Wush and Chilli Bourbon.

PRICING EXPLAINED

 *This is the FOB (Free On Board) price: the price paid to the exporter before 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. 

^This 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.
