La Muralla, Huila: Colombia
A Flavor Adventure
Yet another Colombian coffee — and trust us, your taste buds will thank you, and so will your inner flavor adventurer. Meet your new crush: La Muralla, a radiant Pink Bourbon lot bursting with the juicy charm of raspberry pie, the citrus snap of blood orange, and the sparkling refreshment of limeade. It’s not just a coffee, it’s a flavor parade perfectly timed for the dog days of summer.
The Pink Bourbon Varietal
Pink Bourbon is one of the most captivating varieties in specialty coffee today. A natural mutation of Red and Yellow Bourbon, this cultivar expresses itself in a cup profile that is simultaneously bright, juicy, and floral, with layered fruit notes that can feel almost tropical. Its distinctive pink-hued cherries make it stand out visually, but it’s the extraordinary complexity and sweetness that make it so highly sought after. Pink Bourbon is also notoriously finicky to grow, requiring great care and precise processing qualities that La Muralla’s producers bring in spades.
Young Producers with Big Vision
La Muralla is more than just a farm—it’s an informal group of young producers in San Agustín, one of Huila’s southernmost municipalities. Most of these producers are in their mid-to-late 20s, bringing youthful energy, fresh perspective, and a fearless drive for quality. Their passion translates directly into the cup, with coffees that regularly soar above specialty thresholds. In fact, scoring below 84 points is almost unheard of for this group—their average cup quality is simply that high.
The Osito Connection
This is our first coffee sourced through Osito, a dedicated importing partner whose loyalty, vision, and knack for uncovering extraordinary lots shine through in every silky-sweet sip. Osito’s roots in San Agustín run deep—they were working in the region long before they officially became a company, and many of the producers from those early days remain central to their work today. As with all Osito partnerships, there’s a firm commitment: everything scoring 84 points and higher gets purchased, ensuring stability for producers and consistency for roasters like us.
Why It Stands Out
La Muralla represents the best of Huila’s new generation of coffee producers: bright, adventurous, and uncompromisingly excellent. With Pink Bourbon as the star varietal and a collective of young, passionate growers behind it, this coffee is both a celebration of flavor and a testament to what’s possible when talent and vision align.
