We’re thrilled to welcome back Willyan Zambrano, affectionately known as the Pink Bourbon Don, to our Seven Seeds single-origin menu for the second time in 2024.
Straight from the hills of Pitalito, Hulia, Willyan and his wife, Maria Esther Lopez, cultivate exquisite coffees on their farm, La Montañita. For the past two years, Willyan's Pink Bourbon has been nothing short of a dream to roast and enjoy.
The captivating Pink Bourbon variety, native to Colombia (specifically Huila), caught the eye of its discoverer when the cherry ripened with a pink hue. The trees, reminiscent of the Bourbon varietal, inspired the name that stuck. Recent scientific research has since revealed that it is a unique varietal with roots tracing back to Ethiopia’s landrace.
This latest iteration of Willyan Zambrano's Pink Bourbon is a testament to fantastic farming and thoughtful processing. Produced with meticulous care, this coffee boasts a delicate structure and a nuanced finish that sets it apart from its predecessors. We invite you to join us on this flavorful journey—a step toward a long and fruitful partnership with the Pink Bourbon Don!
