Special Editions, No.1 with Blossom Coffee Roasters

The first instalment of our Special Editions series, it was an absolute pleasure to join forces with one of our favourite roasteries - Blossom Coffee Roasters. 

The purpose of the project was to release a series of coffees that meant something to us, to Blossom and were truly unique and exiting. Our first release did just that. Partnering with Osito Coffee, Josh (owner of Blossom) travelled out to Colombia to judge in the Copa de Oro competition in 2023. This competition spans the regions of Huila and Cauca (the two regions Osito work in within Colombia) and is used to highlight the excellence of the coffee within these regions. 

Blossom purchased two lots, both of which were Pink Bourbons, one from Central Huila and one from South Huila. Both coffees won their regional competitions, and Diego Hoyos lot from South Huila won the whole competition. Both lots underwent extended fermentation before being washed and expressed a sparkling acidity, intense aroma and incredibly bright, fruit forward profiles. 

It was an absolute pleasure to collaborate with Blossom and Osito on these coffees and we can't wait to sample some more goods from Gildardo Lopez and Diego Hoyos this year.
