Colombia – Pink Bourbon - Iveth Muñoz - Exclusive

The Patrice.Coffee Birthday Coffee from Colombia! I only have 70kg of green beans, so it’s very limited!

SOLD OUT!

Pink Bourbon

Iveth's son Adrián, is fascinated and excited by more special coffee varieties, and last year he harvested pure Pink Bourbon for the first time. He proudly wrote to me on WhatsApp and asked if I would buy the first 2 bags! Of course I said yes, because the deal is that I buy EVERYTHING he and his mother produce.

The Pink Bourbon from Iveth and Adrián has flavors of caramel and blackberries and is a true delight. Pink Bourbon is a real rarity on the market and is produced only in very small quantities, mainly because it is more susceptible to diseases and also yields much less coffee than other varieties.

Because Pink Bourbon has lower yields, entails more work and more time for the Muñoz family, they are compensated with around 4€ more per kilo. 

Iveth Muñoz - Exclusively Available At Patrice.Coffee

On my travels to Colombia, I've not only met the Argote family (who export the coffee from Colombia) but also the Muñoz family,including Iveth and her son Adrián!

Situated a bit outside of the village Génova is where Iveth and Adrián live and grow coffee on their farm which is about 1 hectare in size and consists of around 3.500 coffee trees. Iveth has been a widow for 20 years, but during harvest season, she can count on the helping hands of her three sons. Adrián is very interested and enthusiastic to try new processes Iveth is exporting her coffee with Argote for 7 years now and, in this time she's even won an award for best coffee. 

From the extra money earned through the direct exportation with Argote, she's been able to build drying beds as well as rebuild a part of her house.

On top of growing coffee, Iveth also runs a small shop (tienda in Spanish) where she sells everyday items her neighbors might need.

And now I am super excited to tell you, that Iveth Muñoz's coffee, is exclusively available through Patrice.Coffee! I've agreed to hence forward buy all of her harvest every year. This year I am buying a total of 945kg!

Thank you to Iveth and her family for the amazing coffee!
