INTRO
This Pink Bourbon from Lorena Pinzón — a brand-new LaREB producer — absolutely floored the Shoebox team on the cupping table. With 48 hours of held-in-cherry fermentation followed by a further 48 hours in mucilage underwater, it carries that classic Palestina Pink Bourbon signature: tropical dragonfruit up front, vivid pink lemonade acidity, and a slightly heavier body carrying honeysuckle and jasmine florals long into the finish. As it cools, the pink lemonade slowly transitions to a darker blood orange acidity.
THE PRODUCER
Lorena Pinzón is a new addition to the LaREB family, and Shoebox were among the first to work with her. We are still awaiting fuller background details on her story and farm — these notes will be updated as more information becomes available. What's already clear is that her dedication to cherry selection and extended fermentation protocols has resulted in a certified LaREB banger: vibrant, structured, and unmistakably Huila Pink Bourbon in character.
LaREB (La Red de Exportadores de Buena Fe) is the exporting partner, a Colombia-based green coffee export network dedicated to transparency, traceability, and consistently high quality.
THE PROCESS
This lot undergoes an extended two-stage washed fermentation:
- 🍒 Held in cherry — 48 hours immersed underwater in cherry prior to depulping
- 🔧 Depulping — Mechanical depulping after the cherry-hold phase
- 💧 Underwater mucilage fermentation — A further 48 hours submerged in water with mucilage intact
- ☀️ Drying — Slow drying on raised beds
This meticulous double-fermentation approach preserves the inherent clarity of the Washed process whilst building remarkable fruit complexity and body.
THE CUP
An exceptional Palestina Pink Bourbon: tropical dragonfruit sweetness leads, underpinned by vivid pink lemonade acidity. A slightly heavier body carries honeysuckle and jasmine florals into a long finish, whilst cooling brings on a deeper blood orange quality.
