Marlon Bolaños Pink Bourbon Washed

The roaster partnered with Marlon Bolaños to bring Marlon Bolaños Pink Bourbon Washed from Acevedo in Huila, Colombia to HEX shelves. This lot comes from Three Coffee Farmers, a family project where Marlon leads fermentation, cupping, and strategy while his brothers manage farm operations. The farm draws from a natural spring whose mineral composition has proven to enhance body and sweetness in the cup, a detail Marlon has used to guide his approach in competitions and beyond.

Cherries are harvested and density sorted, then de-pulped and fermented in closed tanks for 24 hours to develop fruitiness while preserving clarity. After fermentation the parchment is washed and dried on raised beds for 7 to 8 days to around 11 percent moisture. This straightforward process emphasizes varietal expression over intervention, letting Pink Bourbon come through with balance between sweetness and brightness.
