At its centre is José Elias Martinez, whose relationship with coffee began from an early age, learning cultivation and farm work from his parents before developing his own understanding of agronomy, harvesting and post-harvest processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eJosé's journey has not been entirely conventional. After leaving the countryside and spending time working as a bus driver across Colombia, his connection to coffee eventually brought him home. He acquired his father's farm and returned to production, gradually rebuilding El Casino with an increasing focus on quality and specialty coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eToday, around half of the farm is dedicated to coffee, with traditional varieties such as Caturra and Castillo growing alongside more distinctive selections including Pink Bourbon and Gesha. José has continued investing in the farm's infrastructure and drying facilities while developing his understanding of fermentation and processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThis is our first time working with José, and his washed Pink Bourbon immediately felt like the right coffee to begin our relationship. We have always been huge admirers of washed Pink Bourbon, particularly for the fascinating way its floral character, vivid acidity and clarity can echo the qualities we love in exceptional washed Ethiopian coffees, despite being cultivated in the mountains of Colombia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThere is a beautiful simplicity to this lot: a remarkable variety, grown with care and expressed through clean washed processing. We are incredibly excited to introduce José and Finca El Casino to Sweven and to see where this new relationship takes us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ePink Bourbon is one of the most fascinating varieties found in Colombia. Once thought to be related to traditional Bourbon varieties, genetic analysis has instead linked it closely to Ethiopian landrace populations, helping explain the intensely floral aromatics, elegant structure and vivid fruit character that have made it so sought after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eAt Finca El Casino, José cultivates Pink Bourbon at around 1,650 metres above sea level in the hills of Palestina, Huila. His approach allows the character of the variety to remain at the centre of the cup, using a traditional washed process to emphasise clarity, sweetness and structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ePerfectly ripe cherries are carefully harvested before being depulped and fermented, allowing the remaining mucilage to break down naturally. The coffee is then thoroughly washed before drying, creating a clean and transparent expression of Pink Bourbon where variety and terroir remain beautifully defined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eIn the cup, expect starfruit, elderflower and pink lemonade. Exceptionally sweet and crisp, the profile is driven by mouthwatering, lively citric acidity, delicate blossom-like florals and a refreshing fruit character that carries through to a beautifully clean finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eFor us, this is exactly what makes washed Pink Bourbon so compelling: a Colombian coffee with an unmistakable sense of place, yet an aromatic elegance and clarity that beautifully recalls some of our favourite washed coffees from Ethiopia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"width: 20%;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sweven","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60241686430080,"sku":"22794","price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1002\/0693\/6448\/files\/Image95.jpg?v=1793196932","url":"https:\/\/mygodshot.com\/products\/sweven-el-casino-200g-colombia","provider":"Godshot studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
