Introducing our latest single origin coffee from the mystical highlands of Colombia
When Nine Becomes One: The Story Behind Pink Lemonade
High in the clouds of Colombia's Huila department, where the morning mist dances through ancient mountain peaks, something extraordinary is brewing. Pink Lemonade represents more than just exceptional coffee—it's the harmonious collaboration of nine passionate producers who've woven their individual stories into one remarkable cup.
In the mystical highlands of Cerro Miraflores, eight men and one woman have united their exceptional small-batch Pink Bourbon harvests into this remarkable washed community micro coffee. Each farmer cultivates distinct varieties on their personal plots, contributing their finest beans to create this collaborative masterpiece that speaks to the power of shared vision and collective craft.
Where Paradise Meets Precision
This passionate collective thrives across three verdas (townships) in Garzón municipality, nestled on the western foothills of the Cordillera Oriental's southern edge—the most expansive of the three Andean mountain ranges that define Colombia's Huila department. Here, at altitudes ranging from 1,600 to 2,000 meters above sea level, the coffee plants exist in a world between earth and sky.
Their farms border and sometimes extend into a protected nature reserve, marking the frontier between Huila and Caquetá departments. What makes this region truly extraordinary is its páramo ecosystem—a rare alpine tundra found exclusively in select Andean regions, flourishing above the timberline yet below the permanent snowline. This unique biome creates the perfect microclimate for growing exceptional coffee, where cool nights and warm days allow the cherries to develop slowly and intensely.
The Harmony of Varieties
This coffee showcases the beautiful complexity that comes from several varieties of coffee.Â
- Pink Bourbon - The star of the blend, offering delicate floral notes and exceptional sweetness
- CastilloÂ
- CaturraÂ

Each variety brings its own personality to the cup.

True to its name, Pink Lemonade delivers an enchanting sensory experience that evokes memories of summer afternoons and childhood wonder. The first sip reveals:

From Mountain to Cup

This partnership ensures that every bean is processed with meticulous care, maintaining the integrity and exceptional quality that makes Pink Lemonade - On Leash so special.
