This is not a conventional fermentation. Developed by Edwin Noreña, this proprietary process is reserved for some of his most exceptional coffees and is designed to reveal the full potential of the rare Sudan Rume variety.
Only cherries exceeding 20° Brix are selected before beginning a multi-stage fermentation. After a controlled low-oxygen fermentation, the coffee undergoes an extended carbonic maceration, allowing the fruit to develop extraordinary depth while producing a concentrated mosto—the naturally expressed juice of the cherries.
The mosto is then cultured with a bespoke yeast starter and Enigma hops before being reintroduced during a second fermentation. This rare technique intensifies the coffee's aromatic complexity and layered fruit character while preserving the remarkable elegance that defines Sudan Rume.
The coffee is finished as a black honey process and dried slowly under carefully controlled greenhouse conditions for ten days. Every stage is measured, intentional, and uncompromising—an expression of innovation reserved for coffees of extraordinary potential.
