WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?
Confirmed Octavio Rueda, El Mirador, Palestina in Huila, Pink Bourbon, 1,830 meters, February 2026 harvest, and the end-of-season release identity.
Recorded overnight cherry holding, depulping, 80 hours of underwater fermentation, washing, and raised-bed drying to 10.5% moisture.
Linked the coffee to the existing Huila department record without changing the farm, producer, variety, or process entities.
Recorded the exact $25.50 USD / 250 g retail offer and sold-out status from matching release archives.
No added flavoring is disclosed.
No conventional roast category, exact-lot brew recipe, normalized public sentiment score, or owner tasting score was inferred.
The release now connects to its documented Huila geography and preserves the exact retail and processing evidence without importing reviews from other El Mirador harvest passes.
SEY lists blueberry, hibiscus, and pink lemonade.

In the database. Not tasted. Not scored.
This coffee is in our database because we can reliably document it — but we haven't tasted and scored it yet, and we never publish a score we haven't earned.
Outside reviews and internet discussion — is kept clearly separate from our own review. When we taste it, our full review appears here.
What the internet is saying about this coffee
Our research pipeline scanned public reviews, videos, forums and discussions for this coffee (last pass 2026-11-05) and found no independent review of this exact release that meets our verification standards. When qualifying sources appear, they'll be published here.
The exact roaster page and matching commerce/catalog archives were retained for release facts. Cherrybook's CBI was excluded because it is an evidence-quality index, not a cup score. Reddit discussions and marketplace ratings for Octavio Rueda's new-season, second-harvest, and fourth-harvest coffees were excluded because they are different releases.

Other roasters, same producer.
These coffees come from the same producer or farm, offered by other roasters. We never automatically declare two offerings the exact same coffee — a match requires lot, harvest and traceability details. Even a true same-lot pair can taste different: roast approach, freshness, rest and brewing all reshape the cup.
