El Meson Fall Harvest, Colombia

A natural-process Pink Bourbon from Huila, grown on Finca El Meson by Luz Divia and Elpidio Fierro. The variety—an Ethiopian migrant with distinctive orange-pink cherries—yields a bright, floral cup: citrus-forward with grapefruit and tangerine, undercut by honey and delicate florals that linger cleanly. The clarity here is striking, held together by a balanced body that rewards slower brewing. Hand-harvested cherry by cherry and dried on rooftop beds, each step reflects meticulous care. This is George Howell's fourth vintage with the farm, sourced direct-trade through The Pickers Project to ensure fair wages and protections for the harvest crew.
