Start your day with a smile. This coffee is much more than just a wake-up call, it also puts a smile on your face. The perfect start to the day. The complexity of the coffee is almost unbeatable - the multi-layered acidity of pink grapefruit and peach is flattered by the high sweetness and rounded off by the floral notes of coffee flowers. As a filter coffee, it is well-balanced and emphasises the floral notes - as an espresso, it is super sweet and fruity. With milk, it is reminiscent of nectarine yoghurt. A coffee of superlatives - we have no more words. In short: you simply have to try it for yourself.

Behind this coffee are three farmers from the province of Huila, which is known for its high-quality coffees. The Bourbon Rosado is characterised by its high natural sweetness. The farmers deliver their ripe coffee cherries to Garzon, where they are processed.
Processing begins with anaerobic fermentation in airtight bags for 36 hours. After this first phase, the cherries are placed in airtight canisters, which are filled with nitrogen to reduce the heat generated during fermentation. After a further 24 hours, the pulp is separated from the beans. The latter are again placed in canisters together with nitrogen for 36 hours.
After these fermentation steps, the beans are left to dry in a dark room for six days. However, as the beans have not yet reached the desired dryness, they are dried for a further 24 hours in a mechanical dryer at 40 degrees.
