Óscar Ivan Esguerra "Lote B”
Óscar's pink bourbon lot is here a hearty example of traditional processing at its finest. The wet fermentation in tanks produce a lovely white grape-like sweetness that also acts as its primary acidic profile. We've developed this in the roaster to highlight the balance between sweetness and acidity but also to highlight this rhubarb pastry-like texture in the cup.

Sorting Level
6-7%
All our roasted coffees are run through an AI-powered optical sorter. This extra step ensures that you receive only the most nutrient-dense, flavorful coffees from each lot. The machine is also capable of removing any foreign objects (corn, metals, rope, to name a few) from the rest of the coffees.
The higher the percentage, the more coffee is being removed in order to achieve a truly pristine product. We liken this to how sake-makers "polish" during production in order to reach a higher-quality product.
Nothing goes to waste: the rejected coffees are re-roasted and sold to local markets.
Variety / Cultivar
Pink Bourbon
Despite it's name, Pink Bourbon is closer to Ethiopian Landrace variety than it is to Red or Yellow Bourbon. A constant favorite on the cupping table at Regalia HQ: we get the greatest range of florality and sweetness in the best of this particular cherry.
