Pink Bourbon Washed - Jhonatan Gasca - Bruselas, Colombia

Highlights

“Pink Bourbon Washed comes from Zarza Coffee in Bruselas, Huila, Colombia, where Jhonatan Gasca grows the Pink Bourbon variety (Bourbon Rosado on the bag). Where many Differente lots push the limits of fermentation, this one takes a traditional path: a classic washed protocol with no highly experimental technique, aiming for clarity and precision so the variety and the terroir of Bruselas speak for themselves. Differente is the Colombian roastery of Carlos Escobar, who won the 2020 Australian Brewers Cup, placed third at the 2025 World Brewers Cup in Jakarta, and won the 2026 Colombian Brewers Cup in Bogota. Carlos roasts the country's top lots where they are grown instead of exporting them as green coffee. The lot is part of an initiative supporting Colombian producers through a difficult period, with part of the proceeds going to the redevelopment of his home region. Differente deliberately publishes no tasting notes, describing experience and character instead of a flavour list.”
