PINK STARBURST

Tasting notes

In the roaster’s words

UKBC Winning Coffee Pink Starburst is an intensely fruit-driven Colombian coffee with layered sweetness, bright acidity, and a dense, silky mouthfeel. This coffee is a bold, modern expression of Colombian specialty coffee, built around precision fermentation and an exceptional, rare variety. Produced from Ombligón at Finca El Diviso, it delivers a deeply expressive cup with striking fruit intensity, sweet spice, and a rich texture. Expect vibrant red fruit notes layered with confectionery sweetness, almond-like richness, and subtle floral and spice accents. The acidity is bright and energetic, balanced by density and structure. This is a coffee for drinkers who enjoy flavour-forward profiles and are excited by innovation in processing. The multi-stage natural process - including controlled oxidation, thermal shock, and anaerobic yeast fermentation - pushes complexity without losing clarity, resulting in a cup that feels deliberate. It’s expressive and intense, yet carefully structured, with sweetness and acidity working in harmony. Best suited to filter brewing, where its layered fruit, aromatics, and texture really open up, this coffee rewards attention and curiosity. Brewed as espresso, it delivers a vibrant, high-impact shot with syrupy sweetness and lifted fruit character. Designed to stand out, this is a coffee for experienced drinkers and adventurous brewers looking to explore the cutting edge of Colombian processing. We chose this coffee for its intensity, precision, and the clear intention behind every stage of production. It’s a great example of how advanced fermentation and rare varieties can be used thoughtfully to create a cup that is expressive, structured, and genuinely memorable.
