Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a coffee variety and a coffee origin?
Origin is where a coffee is grown (Ethiopia, Colombia); variety (or cultivar) is the specific genetic strain of the Coffea arabica plant itself — like a grape varietal in wine. The same variety can taste different grown in different countries, and the same origin can grow many different varieties.
Where does Pink Bourbon coffee come from?
Pink Bourbon is grown almost exclusively in Colombia's Huila department, where farmers noticed cherries ripening to a salmon-pink shade instead of red or yellow. It hasn't spread widely to other origins, which is part of why it remains rare and commands premium prices.
