Escape | Pink Bourbon #2 - Colombia

Escape Coffee

When you focus on one thing, many things happen. And at Escape, that one thing was always coffee. That's why we cross continents, explore different roasting techniques, flavours, infusions, and sustainable practices. We work with local artists, hand-package our selections and deliver to distributors. 

We have decided to choose our coffees carefully, taking into consideration the quality, taste, social impact, transport, origin and treatment of employees. We deliver our products with the most ecological means of transport possible and pack our products only with compostable or reusable packaging. 

We build Escape by putting the planet, people and quality before profit. At Escape, this is our main philosophy. With all the information we have regarding the social and environmental impacts of our actions, we firmly believe that companies and brands must take responsibility. 

'Coffee is a moment to escape. A chance to free yourself from the routine of everyday life to achieve something greater, that inspires, motivates and illuminates.'

Pink Bourbon #2

In the highlands of Huila, Colombia, a story of resilience and passion unfolds at Finca El Rubí. Here, producer Heiner Lasso carries forward his family’s coffee legacy with unwavering dedication. Nestled between 1750 and 2000 meters above sea level, his pink bourbon lot is a shining example of tradition meeting innovation.

This pink bourbon is carefully processed using a washed method, followed by controlled drying on patios for 15 days. This meticulous approach brings out the coffee’s vibrant clarity and complexity, highlighting its unique character. In the cup, expect bright notes of orange, plum, berry, and a touch of brown sugar, weaving a flavor profile that’s both lively and sweetly balanced.

Their shared commitment goes beyond quality – it’s about uplifting their community and honoring the family tradition. Finca El Rubí stands as a testament to perseverance and innovation, contributing to Huila’s reputation as one of Colombia’s top specialty coffee regions. This coffee is more than a microlot; it’s a celebration of heritage, resilience, and the pursuit of excellence that connects generations and inspires future growers.
