ABOUT WILSON ALBA FOR OVER 15 YEARS, WILSON ALBA HAS LIVED AND WORKED ALONGSIDE HIS BROTHER JOSE (WHOSE COFFEE WE HAVE ALSO PURCHASED) ON THEIR FARM, SIERRA MORENA. SPANNING EIGHT HECTARES (~20 ACRES), THE FARM INCLUDES TWO HECTARES PLANTED WITH PINK BOURBON, WITH THE REMAINDER IN TABI. SIERRA MORENA CONSISTENTLY PRODUCES SOME OF THE FINEST PINK BOURBON WE TASTE FROM SOUTHERN HUILA, AND IT IS AN HONOR TO ROAST AND SHARE THEIR EXCEPTIONAL COFFEES. ABOUT PINK BOURBON PINK BOURBON IS A RELATIVELY NEW VARIETY BEING GROWN PRIMARILY IN AND AROUND HUILA, COLOMBIA. THE VARIETY HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED GENETICALLY AS AN ETHIOPIAN LANDRACE, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, WE CANNOT BE ANY MORE SPECIFIC AS TO ITS ORIGINS UNTIL THERE IS A LARGER GENETIC DATABASE.
