Gayo Batin Baru Pink Bourbon

GAYO BATIN BARU PINK BOURBON

Good for you if: you want a clean and expressive Gayo coffee with delicate florality, bright fruit character, and a sweet, lightly spiced finish—and you enjoy exploring an unusual variety expression beyond its more familiar Colombian context.

This Pink Bourbon from Batin Baru, Gayo is grown at 1,450 masl and processed using a washed method. Its clean profile carries floral aromatics, bright fruit, balanced sweetness, and a refreshing structure.

Pink Bourbon has become one of specialty coffee’s most talked-about varieties. Despite its name, recent genetic research suggests it is not a direct Red-and-Yellow Bourbon cross, but is more closely related to Ethiopian landrace coffee. It is most often encountered in modern Colombian specialty lots, so finding Pink Bourbon grown in Gayo offers a distinctive opportunity to taste how this variety expresses itself in an Indonesian origin.

In the cup, floral notes open into bright starfruit, followed by a smooth brown sugar sweetness. Subtle herbal tones and a hint of spice add complexity to the finish, creating a clean and distinctive expression of Gayo Pink Bourbon.
