The land

above sea level, the highest rows of the estate. The lowest sit at 1,550 m.

Finca Guacobia is a farm of about five hectares in San Adolfo, Acevedo, at roughly 1,550–1,650 metres — a little lower and warmer than its neighbour Monteblanco, which suits the soft, sweet Pink Bourbon Andrés is known for.

The hands

Grown by Andrés Guaca at Finca Guacobia.

Andrés is a third-generation grower who has spent the last five years turning his family's small farm in San Adolfo into a specialty coffee farm. Pink Bourbon is his focus, alongside Pacamara, Gesha and Caturra, and he lives on the farm with his wife and two sons.

Interventionlowmediumhigh

Andrés ferments carefully selected, ripe Pink Bourbon with melon at the farm, then washes the coffee and dries it slowly. The fruit goes in during processing, before the coffee is dried — it isn't flavoured afterwards. He hasn't published the full recipe for this lot, so we'll share more as we learn it.

The cup

Ripe cantaloupe first, then a mellow sweetness like Chinese winter melon tea, and a light, fizzy finish that reminds us of melon soda. The gentlest cup of the five, and the easiest to drink all afternoon.
