Colombia - Tambo - El Porvenir - Pink bourbon - Washed - FCCO by Sail

This Pink Bourbon comes from Finca El Porvenir, nestled in the highlands of Totorá, Cauca, where volcanic soils, cool mountain air, and rich biodiversity create the ideal environment for high-quality coffee production. The variety itself—a rare natural hybrid of Red and Yellow Bourbon—is known for its vivid character, floral complexity, and elegant structure.

At El Porvenir, this Pink Bourbon is fully washed, with controlled fermentation and careful manual washing to preserve the clarity and integrity of the cup. Grown at high altitudes and processed with precision, this coffee reveals a bright, clean, and vibrant profile.

In the cup, expect citrus brightness, silky body, and a refined sweetness, with tasting notes of orange blossom, mandarin, red berries, and hints of black tea. The finish is lingering, floral, and refreshing.

More than a rare cultivar, this Pink Bourbon from Totoró reflects the skill of its producers, the richness of its origin, and the potential of thoughtful post-harvest practices to bring out the best in every seed.

"El Porvenir is a family-owned farm located in Vereda El Ramal, Corregimiento de Uribe, in the municipality of El Tambo, about two hours from the main town, at an altitude of approximately 2,150 meters above sea level, on the road to Munchique National Park (Santa Ana sector). The road to the farm is unpaved but offers stunning landscapes surrounded by native forest — visitors are advised to travel with a local guide and the proper authorization. The farm’s name, El Porvenir (“The Future”), was chosen by my father, who also passed it down to me as an inheritance. It carries a beautiful story: years ago, this land was used for illicit crops, but we decided to transform it into a place of renewal through coffee. Once you arrive, you truly never want to leave. We strive to follow the best agricultural practices — using manual tools like brush cutters and minimizing herbicide use — to preserve soil fertility and the natural balance of our environment."

"About 6 or 7 years ago, my family and I depended on illicit crops. That was what existed in our territory, but deep inside we knew we needed a profound change, one that would bring us peace and a better future. We decided to replace those crops with coffee, and since then, our lives have taken a turn filled with tranquility, hope, and dreams to fulfill.

I am one of the newest coffee growers in El Tambo, because in my village coffee was not cultivated before. I have been working with coffee for 12 years, and thanks to the training and technical support from the Colombian Coffee Growers Federation, we managed to start this project that today makes us proud.

For me, coffee is not only a source of income. It is a path of dignity, continuous learning, and commitment to quality. Every day, I wake up motivated to produce specialty coffee, coffee that represents the effort and transformation of my family and community.

Today, I can say that coffee has given me more than just a livelihood: it has given me the certainty that with dedication and love for what we do, it is always possible to write a different story".
