Andres Cardona, Colombia
Tasting notes: Honey, Dark Red Grapes & Chocolate
Process: Purple Honey Natural (Cane Sugar Co-Ferment)
Producer: Andres Cardona
Farm: Villa Lucia
Variety: Castillo
Alt: 1650 m.a.s.l.
Andres Cardona is a fermentation legend, and when it comes to this lot, which we internally call the Purple Honey, there is not doubt that Andres is developing interesting and unique coffees stemming from his knowledge of fermentation within coffee. Andres takes this lot and harvests when coffee cherries are 95% ripe. Proceeding this, he takes the coffee and does a 96 hour fermentation with a simple syrup which Andres refers to as honey, made up of cane sugar and water. After this the lot is naturally processed, with a mechanical drying process to aid in moisture development. This coffee is intense, yet a great entry point for those new to co ferments as it has a loud and elevated profile due to the cane sugar. We are super excited to have another lot from Andres and cannot wait for you to drink this coffee!
