I usually try to avoid vague labels like the grower, because you can't usually Google them. In this case, you can totally Google Sebastian Ramirez. Lineage is probably one of the more notable specialty cafes in the Orlando coffee scene, which is relatively small but nothing to scoff at. One thing I was grateful for is that they did not serve any alcohol – many of the cafes in Orlando also served wine or beer in the evening.
They had a very interesting baklava syrup, which we ordered in a matcha latte along with a salted honey cruffin. The baklava syrup tasted correct and the cruffin and croissant were both good.
The coffee was great. This is not the first washed pink bourbon I have had from Sebastian — I had one from SK Coffee last year. One notable thing to highlight is that this was definitely reminiscent of the other coffee, but not the same. In that post, I question what "pink bourbon" means. A trip to the Hyperion Ypsi bathroom (unfortunately unblogged) opened my mind — coffee varietals are descendants of each other (see Cafe Imports tree). People differ on whether pink bourbon is a child of bourbon, but no one disagrees that is a fantastic varietal.
The notes on the bag were accurate. This was an unoffensive coffee that you wouldn't get tired of, but not something I'd have as my daily driver. I did like it, though. Perhaps it was a bit too inoffensive. I guess that is what I get for ordering what I saw as the most recognizable name on the list.
