Colombia Elkin Guzman — Washed | Pink Champagne

Highlights

“Elkin Guzman pioneered controlled-fermentation techniques at Finca El Mirador that reshaped expectations for Colombian coffee, and access to his experimental lots stays limited. This washed Pink Bourbon goes through his signature Pink Champagne process: a fruit-conditioned mother culture whose yeasts, acids and metabolites shape fermentation without the fruit ever touching the coffee. The chemistry alters sugar pathways, acid development and ester formation, keeping washed clarity while adding a sparkling, expressive character.”
