A new story each month

Step 1
Grind just before you brew, medium-fine for pour-over.
Step 2
Use about 1 gram of coffee to 16 grams of water. 22 g to 350 g is a good cup.
Step 3
Water just off the boil. Pour slowly and evenly, about three minutes total.
Step 4
Let it cool a little. The fruit notes open up as it does.

How to Brew
The Farm
Efren Echeverri is part of a new generation of Colombian producers who see post-harvest work as a way to bring clarity and consistency to their coffees. Based in Palestina, Huila, he farms at high elevation, where shade, weather, and terrain demand patience as much as skill.
After studying fermentation science in Cauca, Efren returned home with a deeper understanding of how small decisions compound over time. Rather than chasing novelty, his focus has been on repeatability and balance, refining his approach season by season.
This Pink Bourbon natural reflects that mindset. The coffee is dried with the fruit intact in open air, and the work centers on observation rather than control. Efren turns the coffee regularly, responding to weather and airflow, allowing the process to move at its own pace.
For Efren, openness isn’t about stepping away. It’s about knowing when to intervene and when to wait. The result is a coffee shaped as much by restraint as by intention.
