Campo Hermoso Pink Bourbon CM

Here we have a fantastic Pink Bourbon coffee from a favourite farm of Arkanum which we’ve had the joy of roasting coffee from before, Campo Hermoso in Quindío, Colombia. It’s exploding with fruit and berries, but also has a smooth note of strawberry yoghurt enveloping the entire cup.

This coffee has been processed using a combination of methods, both the natural process where the coffee cherries are dried whole on beds, and the Carbonic maceration process borrowed from the wine industry, in which the coffee cherries are fermented in an environment with low or no oxygen, but rich with carbon dioxide. These processes bring out new flavors compared to a classic cup, contributing to a deeper, sweeter, and more complex coffee.

The farm Campo Hermoso is run by Edwin Noreña and has been in the family for more than three decades. Edwin is a coffee farmer and pioneer who has been working with coffee for over 20 years, both as a producer but also as a Q Grader working with quality scoring of coffees, as a Cup of Excellence judge, a coffee consultant and more. At Campo Hermoso, Edwin has been experimenting with different fermentation methods with great success, which is further improved using a number of different coffee varieties that are not only grown on the farm, but also sourced from other nearby farms.
