Colombia Huila Santa Maria- Pink Bourbon Washed- Yoher Bustos (GP) (22 lb. Box)

I was excited to have the opportunity to do a roast of this washed pink bourbon from Colombia. This offering comes to us from Yoher Bustos of Los Cristales in El Cedral Bajo, Huila. This coffee shined on the cupping table with sparkling acidity, highlighting notes of cherry, peach, and black tea. I charged our Diedrich to 389°F with the burner set to 50%. The turning point of the roast was reached 1:27 into duration at 165°F. I increased the burner to 85% 2:50 into duration. At 5:02 I adjusted the airflow to 50%. I marked color change 6:20 into duration at 313°F. As the roast gained momentum, I reduced the burner to 50% at 6:29. The last heat adjustment of the roast came 8:41 into duration with the burner lowered to 20%. The development phase of the roast began 9:30 into duration at 389°F. First crack was audible with a brown sugar aroma. Immediately after marking first crack, I adjusted the airflow to 100%. I dropped the roast at 408°F with a duration of 12:22 and 2:52 of development time.
