Sought X Found | Jose Gomez Pink Bourbon - Colombia

Now pouring from Calgary, Alberta — Sought X Found Coffee Roasters.

Pure. Fine. Ethical.

This is the coffee we serve.

We are a local coffee shop and roaster in Calgary, which started out of a passion for coffee, a very small dream, and just a tiny bit of courage. We spent a few years getting ourselves professionally trained in tasting, roasting, and brewing, but more than anything, it humbles us with the realization of how vast the world of specialty coffee is. We can only strive to serve our best, and keep learning how to make better coffee, and be a better ambassador for what we believe in.

We choose to present our coffees in a way that is representative of their true quality and character, and of the hard work by everyone who poured and risked so much into growing and finding them. We hope that by purchasing and showcasing good quality specialty coffee, we are supporting a truly sustainable trading practice for farmers at origins.

Founded by Caleb Leung and Kitty Chan, Sought X Found has quietly become one of Canada’s most respected small-batch specialty roasters, known for expressive single origins, meticulous roasting, and a deeply thoughtful approach to coffee. Their coffees are selected and presented with an emphasis on clarity, character, and the stories behind each producer and origin.

For those who appreciate coffee with transparency, nuance, and a genuine sense of craft, these are bags worth slowing down for.

We’re proud to welcome Sought x Found to KNIFE.

Jose Gomez Pink Bourbon

Finca El Paraíso, owned by José Ignacio Gómez, benefits from the renowned climate of Buesaco and sweeping landscape views that inspired the farm’s name. With a strong respect for the area’s biodiversity, José is committed to producing coffee in an environmentally sustainable way.

Coffee has been a constant in José’s life. Raised by a father who dedicated his life to coffee farming, José began helping on the farm at a young age, learning the foundations of production hands-on. In 2002, he purchased his own farm, first producing conventional coffee before shifting to specialty for growth potential. He learned to cup and analyze coffee to better understand quality and how it is impacted by farm practices, and later created his coffee lab and export company to help regional producers access specialty markets.
