Eduardo Armero Martinez - Colombia - Pink Bourbon

Information

While Eduardo Armeno Martinez is new to Hulia, he is not new to coffee.

After many years of producing coffee in Nariño, Eduardo moved to Hulia to embark on a new project with the goal of establishing a cutting-edge coffee processing plant. This initiative isn't just about processing coffee; it's a deliberate effort to boost the production of specialty coffees in the Huila region.
Eduardo is motivated by a desire to create remarkable coffee experiences by leveraging the unique characteristics of Huila. Drawing upon his experience in Ngarino and extensive background, Eduardo experiments with various coffee varieties and processing methods to unlock the full potential of Huila's coffee, contributing to its reputation for producing top-tier specialty coffees.

We first tried Pink Bourbon back in July 2019 from one of the first producers in Huila to cultivate this rare and exotic coffee. Since then, we, and many others in the coffee industry, have been captivated by its unique characteristics.

As part of this fascination, things that we thought we knew such a short time ago have now been found to be untrue.
Pink Bourbon, Pink yes, Bourbon? No.
DNA testing in 2017 and again in 2023 has confirmed that Pink Bourbon is no relation to Bourbon, but actually an Ethiopian landrace variety, though it is, and likely will be known as Pink Bourbon for many years to come. Want to know more? Check out the article by Cafe Imports.
