Rigby - Pink Bourbon Coffee El Vergel - 12oz

Nestled in the heart of Fresno, Tolima, Colombia, El Vergel Estate is managed by the Bayter Family. In 1995, they started their farm together focusing mostly on avocados. After the price of avocados plummeted in 2006, they made the big decision to start growing coffee. Initially they grew traditional Colombian varietals like catimore and caturra. Under the tutelage of coffee doyen, Miguel Jimenez, Elías and Shady Bayter began planting specialty varietals like Gesha and Pink Bourbon.

Bourbon coffee, available in stunning colors like red, yellow, orange, and pink, is celebrated for its sweetness. Once the most awarded variety in coffee competitions, it now offers great value as it has been surpassed in fame by some of the pricier varieties like Gesha, Sudan Rume, and Wush Wush.

Fast forward to 2016. Elias and Shady along with their business partner, Martha Montenegro, dedicate their time to honing their processing methods in order to innovate and highlight the quality of their coffee even more than before. It was then they began experimenting with anaerobic fermentation. They also created a processing method that incorporates koji into their fermentations! A wild reinventing of an ancient art.
