La Fortuna
La Fortuna is a celebrated farm nestled in the volcanic soils of the Bruselas district in Huila, Colombia, grown at elevations between 1,700 and 1,800 meters in the village of El Bombonal. Known for achieving record-breaking auction prices, the farm has become a benchmark for high-altitude specialty coffee in the region. This lot features Pink Bourbon, a rare Ethiopian landrace variety prized for its vibrant acidity and complex floral character, its striking salmon-pink cherries yielding a cup that feels closer to the ancient coffees of East Africa than a typical Colombian profile.
For this lot, harvested cherries first underwent an initial 6-12 hour whole-cherry fermentation before being depulped and transferred to open tanks for a secondary fermentation of 18-24 hours with mucilage intact. The beans were then fully washed and laid out to dry on raised beds until reaching optimal moisture. This dual-phase washed process brings remarkable clarity and texture to the cup.

Sorting Level
4-5%
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 Pink Bourbons.
