Colombia Pink Bourbon Washed Double Anaerobic Thermal Shock
Diego Bermudez | Finca El Paraíso

From Finca El Paraíso in Cauca, Colombia, Diego Bermudez continues to redefine what “washed coffee” can be.

Grown at high elevation in a tightly controlled farm environment, this Pink Bourbon lot represents a shift from traditional farming into process-driven flavour design — where every variable is intentional, repeatable, and engineered for clarity.

Process: Washed, Rebuilt From Scratch

This is not a classic washed coffee.
It’s a high-intervention washed process built on fermentation science.

Process Flow

  • Hand-harvested cherries at peak ripeness
  • Ozone sterilisation to reset microbial activity
  • Primary anaerobic fermentation (~48 hours)
  • Depulping, followed by controlled fermentation with custom microbial cultures
  • Pressurised tank fermentation with recirculated leachates
  • Thermal shock wash to stabilise and lock flavour
  • Controlled low-temperature drying

This layered fermentation approach is designed to construct flavour, not just reveal it .

🌱 Variety: Pink Bourbon, High Expression

Pink Bourbon is not your typical Bourbon mutation — it’s now understood to be genetically closer to Ethiopian landrace varieties, known for:

  • Elevated floral aromatics
  • Complex fruit expression
  • High sweetness potential

It’s one of the most responsive varieties to advanced fermentation — making it the perfect canvas for Diego’s processing style .

Cup Experience: Structured Exotic

Expect a profile that feels engineered but natural:

  • Peach, lychee, and tropical fruit
  • Citrus brightness with floral lift
  • Creamy, almost tea-like texture
  • Long, clean, perfumed finish

This is a washed coffee with unusual depth and saturation, balancing clarity with intensity .

Why This Coffee Hits Different

Because it challenges the idea of washed coffee:

  • Clean, but not simple
  • Sweet, but not heavy
  • Complex, but controlled

You’re tasting:

  • Precision fermentation
  • Repeatable flavour engineering
  • A new category of “modern washed” coffee

Brewing Mindset

Treat this as a high-extraction capable washed coffee:

  • Push extraction for maximum clarity and florals
  • Slightly finer grind enhances sweetness
  • Performs exceptionally well across filter and espresso

This coffee rewards intention — and gives back detail.

The Bigger Picture

Diego Bermudez isn’t just producing coffee — he’s building a processing system that redefines how flavour can be created at origin.

This Pink Bourbon is a benchmark of that philosophy:

Clean.
Precise.
Designed.
