ROVIRA SALAMANCA & LA VEGAAfter inheriting a parcel of family land 14 years ago, Rovira Salamanca has cultivated rich soil that supports exceptionally high-quality coffee. Along with the support of her family – her husband Virginiano and her son Camilo – Rovira has increased productivity while maintaining high standards for their coffees.
In the years since, Rovira has been able to purchase more land and build a house on the farm for her family. Her Pink Bourbon is a testament to the work they have been doing, and we are thrilled to be offering it.
This coffee is picked at peak ripeness, where they are placed in a chute the following day for depulpation and then placed into concrete tanks with water for 24-36 hours for fermentation. The mucilage is washed off and then left to dry on patios for approximately one to two weeks, depending on the climate.
Tasting the coffee, we find all the classic hallmarks of Pink Bourbon with an exceptionally clean flavor profile, a refreshing acidity, with good sweetness. We taste pink lemonade, honeysuckle, and red currant.

Rubies in Snow
Tidings of King Othor’s demise flood the realm’s troupes with foreboding. The king’s heir, newly-crowned Queen Agathe, has always despised the arts and nurtures militant ambitions for Vega. ‘Bows and strings are for archers, not minstrels,’ her first edict declares.
But the old king had not shared his daughter’s appetite for conquest, favoring poetry and acrobatics over warmongering. Many seasons ago when he had ascended the throne, King Othor sipped on prized pink lemonade offered as a gift by a family of jugglers. He cultivated a tenderness for these traveling folk and their libations ever since.
But those days are buried. And hidden beyond sunlight’s reach in the ever-gloom of Gwandel Woods, Honeysuckle despairs. On the stairs of her family’s caravan, she watches her children attempt the Nooferniggle Knack – a juggling trick that involves balancing on an ostrich egg.
Watching her, Robin sidles up to his beloved. ‘What troubles you, my flower?’
‘I wonder if we fail the children by keeping them with us,’ Honeysuckle confesses. ‘Perhaps they would fare better enlisting in the citadel’s barracks and trading our clubs and balls for weapons.’ She drops her eyes. ‘I ache to say it, but the queen has turned us into brigands, cowering here in the dark.’
Robin gently lifts her chin before he speaks again. ‘Remember the red currants, my darling. In the furthest depth of winter, the gods reveal them like rubies against the snow, showing the starling what to eat. So too will we be in their safe-keeping.’
