Pink Honey — Colombia, Tolima
From El Vergel Estate in Fresno, Tolima, this Pink Bourbon honey process lot comes from Elias and Shady Bayter — the family behind Forest Coffee, a producer collective that has grown from a single farm in 2010 into a network of 250 coffee-growing families across Colombia.
The process is anything but simple: handpicked Pink Bourbon cherries undergo a 36-hour anaerobic pre-fermentation, followed by 120 hours in hermetic tanks at carefully controlled humidity, then mechanical drying and a 30-day stabilization rest. The result is a cup brimming with blueberry and tangerine, grounded by a warm hazelnut sweetness and a bright citric lift. A coffee that rewards patience — both in its making and in the cup.
We've loved exploring Colombia's diversity through producers like El Vergel, whose coffees share the same spirit of innovation and care as other favorites we've carried from the region. This one is a natural next chapter.
Vibrant, layered, and endlessly drinkable. Shipped fresh every week.

Delightful
I really enjoyed this cup. The grind smells delicious but you really get the blueberry in the cup. I found myself smiling with every sip.

We were VERY impressed! Smooth and light!
We felt the blueberry's and toasty hazelnut really came through, with that bit of citrus and honey as a finish

Delicious
Sweet and citrousy but not overly so, while remaining delightfully smooth. First sip of every cup evokes an involuntary "mmmmm!"
