About Finca El Diviso, José Antonio Cenon

José Antonio Cenon grows coffee at Finca El Diviso in Garzón, Huila, Colombia. His farm covers approximately three-quarters of a hectare at around 1,660 meters. It is a small producer plot within the wider Divino Niño sourcing community.

This listing is José's washed Pink Bourbon selection.

Variety

Pink Bourbon is a high-interest variety name in Colombian specialty coffee, recognized for ripe cherries that can show pink, salmon, or orange-toned coloration. It is often associated with expressive sweetness, florality, and bright acidity in well-grown lots.

The variety’s identity is more nuanced than the name suggests. While Pink Bourbon has often been described as a Bourbon-type selection or a cross of Red and Yellow Bourbon, recent genetic testing of some Pink Bourbon samples has pointed toward Ethiopian landrace ancestry rather than a direct Bourbon lineage.

Processing

The coffee is prepared as a washed lot. After sorting, the cherries are depulped; fermentation helps loosen the remaining mucilage before washing. The coffee then dries in parchment.
