Where Does the Pink Bourbon Variety Come From?
The Pink Bourbon variety is the focus here, shown through washed beans from the Huila region of Colombia, grown at about 1,700 meters. The dry aroma carries ginger flower and intense ginger after grinding, while the wet aroma is dominated by sweet orange. A V60 pour-over plan lays out the staged pouring rhythm that brings out that orange note and bright fruit acidity.
The suggested recipe uses 20 grams of coffee at a 1:15 ratio, 95C water, grind size 4 with a granulated sugar consistency, and a V60 dripper. Bloom with 30 grams of water for 30 seconds, pour in stages to 125 grams, then to 225 grams, and finish at a 2:00 extraction time.

[Front Street Colombia Huila Pink Bourbon] has a faint ginger note at the front end, a sweet orange note as the main body, a slight berry note at the tail end, bright fruit acidity, and the washed bean's mouthfeel is still relatively clean. I had expected a rich ginger flavor—a hot ginger tea would be quite nice in winter—but it turned out to be such a sweet orange instead. That transformation was quite surprising.
