Don't miss the deadline to serve one of the world's rarest coffees with your Thanksgiving desserts! Monday, November 15 is the last day to order Colombia Arcila Cinnamon Pink Bourbon for Thanksgiving delivery from award-winning coffee roaster Crimson Cup Coffee & Tea.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Monday, November 15 is the deadline to order rare Colombia Arcila Cinnamon Pink Bourbon coffee for Thanksgiving delivery. Award-winning coffee roaster Crimson Cup Coffee & Tea airlifted this experimental micro lot to the U.S. especially for the holidays.
"With subtle cinnamon notes, a floral aroma and a creamy mouthfeel, this sweet cup offers a delightful complement to pumpkin pie and other seasonal desserts," said Greg Ubert, founder and president.
"We invite coffee enthusiasts to savor this unique coffee and relish the story of how it made its way to their cup."
Customers can order a 12-ounce box of whole bean coffee for $70 on the Crimson or Crimson Cup websites. When brewed, each box will yield about 26, 8-ounce cups of coffee.
Crimson Cup will roast this exceptional coffee on Tuesday, November 16 and ship orders the next day with free shipping to arrive before Thanksgiving.
The coffee's cost stems from its rarity, risks of experimentation, transportation costs and the many hands that labored to produce this one-of-a-kind cup.
This experimental coffee's tale begins 1,480 meters above sea level in the mountains of Colombia's Quindío Region.
There, Grower Jairo Arcila has transitioned 10 hectares of his Finca Villarazo from avocados to coffee. His farm focuses on the superb Pink Bourbon variety.
A hybrid of Yellow and Red Bourbon, this variety has a high glucose content. It yields a sweet cup, with a silky body and luscious mouthfeel.
Some farmers report Pink Bourbon resists coffee leaf rust, a fungal disease threatening coffee crops in Central and South America.
As fourth-generation coffee growers and exporters, the Arcilas of Cofinet specialize in alternative fermentation processes that create exotic coffee varieties and unique profiles.
After visiting Finca Villarazo in October 2018, Crimson Cup Sustainability Director Brandon Bir met with Felipe Arcila in Armenia and Bogota.
"We developed a friendship that grew over three years, culminating in our purchase of this experimental micro lot," he said.
"Everything starts at origin, where the time we spend with small-plot farmers and communities yields remarkable coffees."
To create the unique coffee, Finca Villarazo workers exposed a micro lot of their best cherries to dry anaerobic fermentation of 72 hours.
During fermentation, they added tartaric acid and cinnamon to enhance the flavor. In the last step, they dried the cherries on raised beds to 10.5 percent moisture content.
"The result is a sweet cup with subtle notes of cinnamon," Bir said. "By any standard, it's an outstanding cup.
"I'm thrilled we're able to bring this competition-quality coffee to our coffeehouses and consumer tables."
