## What the Brand Says

> Name: Edwin Enrique Noreña Black Honey Gesha Extended Fermentation Processing Region: Armenia, Quindio Department, Colombia Farm: Finca Campo Hermoso Processing: Black Honey (carbonic maceration lactic fermentation) Varieties: Gesha Altitude: 1,800 MASL Notes: rose, hibiscus, watermelon, lychee, citrusy, velvety Brew Ratios: For pourovers, try a 1:16.7 coffee-to-water ratio. Start with a 1:2.2 ratio for espresso. Edwin Noreña is a consummate professional—a third-generation coffee producer, trained agronomist, certified Q-grader, and sought-after Cup of Excellence judge. Quality and repeatability are his north star. He’s earned a devoted following for his mastery of fermentation and co-fermentation, borrowing techniques from the wine and beer world to craft coffees with lasting sweetness and flavor notes that are unmistakably true to the label. His goal: make coffee more approachable so anyone, not just trained tasters, can clearly experience the flavors in the cup. This is a black honey process with mossto lactic extended fermentation. The process begins by selecting and classifying ripe cherries, which then undergo a 72-hour fermentation to produce the mossto. After this first stage, the coffee is pulped and enters another 72-hour fermentation using the previously produced mossto together with selected lactic yeast cultures. Once fermentation is complete, the coffee is dried naturally in a parabolic dryer for 10 days, preserving aromatics and ensuring slow, even drying. We've been brewing these coffees on bar with the following recipe: 1:14.2 ratio 14 grams 200 mL coarse grind: ~950 microns 196˚F water temp Sibarist Fast Cone Filter Origami Air S 4 x 50g pours (pouring the next right before the other drains) Bags are 10 oz. Jars are 100 grams
