Lavender Bloom & Sweet Raw Cane Sugar
Lavender Bloom & Sweet Raw Cane Sugar
Heiner Lasso | Colombia
Reintroducing our beloved Pink Bourbon from Heiner Lasso—a coffee that has swiftly become a favorite among our discerning customers. Back for its second year, this sweet, washed Pink Bourbon is more than just a delightful brew; it's a testament to exceptional craftsmanship and a relationship we deeply cherish.
Our connection with the Lasso family enriches every cup. We've had the pleasure of meeting Heiner's brother, Wilder Lasso, and even hosted him at a tasting event in London. Experiencing their family's unwavering dedication to producing outstanding coffees firsthand, we're excited to share this extraordinary experience with you.
From the very beginning, only the finest cherries are selected through meticulous flotation. They undergo a 24-hour fermentation in CO₂ tanks, are carefully pulped and washed, then slowly dried in parabolic beds. This precise processing elevates the coffee's inherent sweetness and complexity.
We've further developed this coffee when roasting it as an espresso. By slightly extending the roast development time, we've deepened its richness and body, allowing it to pair exceptionally well with milky drinks. Its natural sweetness radiates, offering versatile enjoyment whether you prefer it black or with milk.
Anticipate notes of raw cane sugar and lavender, gracefully balanced by subtle hints of spiced grapefruit. This coffee delivers a beautifully harmonious cup with depth and sweetness that will captivate both specialty coffee enthusiasts and professionals alike.
Achieving an impressive SCA score of 87.75 out of 100, this coffee embodies Heiner’s commitment to quality and our dedication to bringing you the very best. Whether savoured as a smooth espresso, a sweet filter brew, or your favourite milky beverage, we're thrilled to present this versatile coffee to you once again.
