The story
This is the Natural 011 Pink Bourbon from Finca Bet-El, a true Gem. Cesar’s processing mastery shines here, while the semi-washed lot is more delicate and bright, this natural is dense, syrupy and layered.
The lot comes from San Bernardo del Viento at ~1600 masl and represents the second harvest we buy directly from Cesar.
The process
This lot follows an intensive natural protocol with two staged anaerobic fermentations in tanks fitted with degassing valves.
- Selective harvesting of the ripest cherries every 7–15 days
- Floating and two rounds of hand sorting to remove defects
- First fermentation: 72 hours in cherry with lactic inoculum (anaerobic, degassing valve)
- Second fermentation: 60 hours in the same tank, topped with water to the height of the coffee mass
- Pre-drying in solar area for 6–24 hours (weather dependent)
- Finished in convection drying equipment with temperature control (max 39°C)
These controlled steps produce a heavy, syrupy body while preserving complex fruit and floral aromatics.
The cup
Expect a rich, syrupy and multilayered cup. Dominant notes: chocolate-dipped raspberry, blackberry jam, with a refined cherry blossom floral finish.
Silky-creamy mouthfeel, pronounced sweetness and sustained complexity — a rare Pink Bourbon expression that stands out in our Gem range.
