The sequential processing from Edwin Noreña is intensive and results in a stunning cup profile that has great clarity of flavor and a very “clean” finish.
First cherries harvested above 24° brix are soaked in water for 4 hours to clean the exterior of the fruit, sort out floaters and hydrate the fruit.
Next, cherries undergo an initial anoxic fermentation for 12 hours with fresh watermelon and coffee mossto. The coffee is then depulped, leaving 50% of the mucilage intact for a second anoxic fermentation with the watermelon and coffee mossto for another 12 hours. Finally, the coffee is removed from the tanks and allowed to dry for 26 days on raised beds as a ‘honey’ process. The dried parchment is then stored in grainpro bags for 10 days to stabilize before the lots are cupped and selected.
Finca Campo Hermoso has been in Edwin’s family for over 30 years. After his father passed away, Edwin began developing the farm for unique specialty coffees. Edwin has become a prominent innovator for Colombian specialty coffees. He is a Q Grader, Q Processor, and Cup of Excellence judge in addition to overseeing the farm and processing operation.
Resting Time / Brewing Suggestions
We recomend letting this coffee rest for a minimum of 7-10 days with the peak brewing time being for 3-4 weeks after that.
This coffee is great as a filter coffee or as an espresso. Try a 1:17 ratio on filter coffee or a turbo style shot on espresso.
