El Paraiso Pink Bourbon
Diego and the team at El Paraiso are back!
Where to start with this one, this is special, really special, a 90+ cup score Pink Bourbon and it's an absolute banger. This is our second coffee from Diego, the first natural lot released in January quickly went down a storm and disappeared, so I feel very lucky to have been able to secure this second very limited Pink Bourbon lot from our importing partner.
I’m really conscious of ‘emperors new clothes’ when it comes to coffee and tasting notes, and I tend to think if you see a flavour note of something mad like ‘candied rhubarb wrapped in a fig roll that’s then been gently laced in liquorice snap under the light of a full moon’, then chances are you’ll look for that flavour in the coffee, even if it is a little absurd and probably doesn’t taste like that.
After saying all that....I really do think this bean is something else, I've never tasted coffee this good. An incredibly silky caramel body, sweet peach and rhubarb, and the best aroma while brewing (especially filter). I know the price is a little steep compared to our other offerings, I nearly fell off my chair when I saw the price of the green bean... but I think its a case of a little bit of something brilliant goes a long way, and El Paraiso is definitely a little bit of coffee heaven. On the webshop now.
