When a bag of coffee says peach tea, cherry, and floral honey, I buy it.
When that bag comes from Fidela Coffee Roasters — grown in Colombia and roasted in Northern Ireland — I sit up straight, grab my Chemex, and get pouring.
This is El Prado, and this is why you should care.

El Prado (Pink Bourbon, Washed): What You’re Drinking
Origin: Colombia
Region: Nariño
Altitude: 1850 MASL
Varietal: Pink Bourbon
Process: Washed
Tasting Notes: Peach tea, cherry, and floral honey
Pink Bourbon is already a bit of a unicorn in the coffee world. Rare, finicky, and stunning when done right — which this most definitely is.
The Brew Test: Chemex and Chill
On the Nose:
Bright florals, fresh peach skin, and a whisper of cherry blossom. No fake perfume vibes. Just clean, natural fragrance.
First Sip:
Peach tea leads the charge — soft, sweet, not shy. Cherry kicks in next with juicy red vibrance. It closes with floral honey: smooth, round, and just enough to make you pause.
Body & Acidity:
Elegant and tea-like. The acidity is crisp without cutting. Think fresh apple snap, not lemon sting.
Finish:
Lingers like a good conversation. Sweet, floral, and refined. The kind of coffee that doesn’t scream — it just knows it’s quality.
Why This Coffee Works
El Prado doesn’t need to be loud. It’s not here to punch you in the taste buds or flex on your palate. It’s subtle, composed, and confident. The kind of brew that rewards patience and focus — but still shines if you’re half-awake and late for work.
This is what happens when the farm and the roaster know each other inside out. Because, well… they’re family.
Final Sip
Fidela’s El Prado is a clean, confident Pink Bourbon that delivers everything it promises.
Light, floral, fruit-forward — and roasted with the kind of clarity that only comes from genuine connection and generational skill.
If you’re serious about coffee — or just want something that makes your Tuesday morning feel like a Sunday afternoon — this one’s a no-brainer.
