{"product_id":"edinson-argote-pink-bourbon-thermal-shock","title":"Edinson Argote Pink Bourbon Thermal Shock","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePink Bourbon is one of coffee's more curious discoveries. Despite the name, DNA testing in 2017 and again in 2023 confirmed it isn't a Bourbon at all - it's genetically closer to wild Ethiopian varieties, a piece of Ethiopian heritage that somehow found its way into the Colombian Andes. It gets its name from the cherries themselves: rather than ripening red or yellow like most varieties, they turn a distinctive salmon-pink, a genetic quirk in how the plant expresses its pigment. It's notoriously tricky to grow and harvest too - the cherries can be hard for pickers to judge for ripeness, and the plant is more susceptible to disease than most commercial varieties - but in the right hands, it rewards the effort with real complexity in the cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEdinson's is one of those hands. His Pink Bourbon comes from Quebraditas, grown at 1,850 masl in Huila - the region considered the epicentre of the variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis lot is washed with thermal shock, a process built around precise timing and temperature. After pulping, the coffee ferments to remove the mucilage before a 50°C wash shocks it into its next phase, then ferments again for 65 hours with a specific yeast before a 5°C wash seals things in place, finishing with a mechanical dry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mi Cafe","offers":[{"title":"0.5kg","offer_id":55648307478904,"sku":"EDINSON-PINKBOURBON-HALF","price":22.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg","offer_id":55648307511672,"sku":"EDINSON-PINKBOURBON-1","price":39.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5kg","offer_id":55648307544440,"sku":"EDINSON-PINKBOURBON-5","price":171.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/3006\/7755\/files\/0-7_e185daf3-72a4-46a4-bcf0-6609c55bf0ac.jpg?v=1788534857","url":"https:\/\/greencoffeecollective.com\/en-ie\/products\/edinson-argote-pink-bourbon-thermal-shock","provider":"Green Coffee Collective","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
