Washed Pink Boubon

Wild berries, cola, candied lemon

Embark on a journey with Don Gabriel Castaño, whose dedication to the art of coffee cultivation transformed his family's fate. In pursuit of prosperity, he traded his hard work for a modest 5-hectare haven named La Granada. The initial years were a test of resilience, until a serendipitous encounter with the extraordinary pink bourbon variety changed everything.

Pink bourbon, a resilient gem resistant to coffee rust, became the heartbeat of La Granada. Not only did it prove its mettle against adversities, but it also unveiled the secret to crafting exceptional coffee. Don Gabriel, captivated by its uniqueness, exclusively embraced pink bourbon, sparking a wave of influence that reached every neighboring producer. In a tribute to its origin, they affectionately renamed it "Castaño."

Delve into the exquisite micro-lot crafted by Don Gabriel's hands. Picture the meticulous process of hand-picking each pink bourbon cherry, carefully preserved for 96 hours before embarking on a transformative 96-hour fermentation. Witness the magic as the cherries are washed and gracefully dried in parabolic dryers, basking in the sunlight for 20 to 30 days.

The tale of La Granada and its captivating pink bourbon unfolds, promising not just coffee but a legacy brewed with passion, resilience, and a touch of Castaño magic.
