Producer Profile
We've been travelling to Huila every fall with Osito to help judge their annual Copa de Oro competition and its predecessor Copa Occidente for four years now. Every year, Gildardo places in the top lots. This time around he took first place in the Western Region with this stunning Pink Bourbon lot.
Gildardo's consistent placement in the top lots at each annual Copa de Oro competition has led to him and his coffee to become highly-regarded. With his coffee always in high-demand, we were only able to secure one box of his competition lot this year. As such, we are releasing his coffee one roast at a time. Initial orders will be fulfilled with our first batch (August 27th). The second and final batch will be released once the first has sold out.

Huila
Of the many growing regions in Colombia, the mountainous department of Huila in the south west of the country grows the most coffee. Huila enjoys a wide diversity of micro-climates, temperatures, altitudes and coffee varieties. In fact, coffee is grown in 35 of Huila's 37 municipalities. All of this means that the coffee coming out of this region is as diverse as the variables that influence its production.
Pink Bourbon
Initially thought to be a natural hybrid of Red and Yellow Bourbon, this variety, famed for its characteristically pink ripened cherries and equally unique flavour characteristics, has become highly sought after. It has now been genetically confirmed that Pink Bourbon is in fact an Ethiopian Landrace variety. On our trips to Colombia, we've seen the variety proliferate across Colombia, particularly in Huila, where it has become extremely popular amongst specialty focused coffee producers.
