Pink Bourbons from Nariño + Cauca, Colombia

GEM 004 is a blend of Pink Bourbon variety separations from three partners in Colombia. Recent genetic testing indicates that Pink Bourbon is not likely a mutation of the Bourbon variety as originally thought, but rather, an Ethiopian landrace variety. This lineage would help explain the cup's bright and juicy nature. Look for punchy pomelo-like acidity balanced by a raw sugar cane sweetness; a crisp, sweet-tart balance reminiscent of Honeycrisp apple.
