A very exciting first time partnership with acclaimed producer, José Martínez, comes to us a memorable Washed Pink Bourbon from his farm, Finca El Casino. Located high in the Huila region of Colombia, Jose's tireless experimentation with multiple varietals has yielded a truly delicious expression of this prized varietal that upon first taste, delighted us with attributes typically associated with some of the best Kenyan coffees; bright, floral, juicy, and containing that quintessential sweet/savory umami note that always brings a deep smile to our faces.
While we have built Metric on the idea of cultivating and keeping longstanding, direct relationships within our industry, this is a perfect example of the benefits of remaining open and curious to the endless opportunities that exist within this life in coffee and beyond. With work and intention, we hope that this new relationship, (brought to us through our friends at Osito) will continue to grow into a longterm relationship founded on mutual admiration, respect and a shared love of craft.
