Introducing a new blog series called the Killer Coffee Series (KC Series). We from 43 Coffee are particularly excited about this series because we get to share the rare and exotic coffees that we have tried for you coffee lovers out there! Our selection of coffees featured complexity and versatility Above all, a killer cup of coffee that strikes the heart of many!
Our first KC Series feature is a very special coffee produced by Sebastian Gomez at Finca Divisa, Colombia. A progressive farmer, known for growing rare coffees with exceptional flavours. This particular coffee is of the pink bourbon varietal, a hybrid between the yellow and red bourbon varietal. Named from the fact that when the coffee cherry ripens, it turns saliently pink.
What’s even more interesting is that Sebastian Gomez uses the natural carbonic maceration process for this coffee. Adopted from wine-making and adapted into coffee-making, this means that coffee fermentation takes place in a carbon-dioxide-rich environment. Through this, the coffee tastes almost like a fruit bomb of flavour. It is heavy bodied while being highly syrupy, wine-y, fruity and fragrant. The fragrance is a fusion of spices and floral notes. Even thinking about the flavours makes me want to brew a cup for myself. If you get the chance to try it, we highly recommend you to! Stay tuned for our next KC series as there are more great coffees to be brewed and will be featured very very soon.
