Andres' Black Honey

/lb
This lot from Andrés Martínez was born from his curiosity to develop a mosto capable of intensifying the natural flavor of blackberries. By blending fresh Castilla blackberries with enology yeast, he created a vibrant, tannic-rich must that captures the essence of the fruit. After four days of anaerobic fermentation, the mosto is ready and the coffee is added to the tank, where both components co-ferment for an additional four days in sealed tanks. Once the fermentation is complete, the coffee is lightly washed to remove excess fruit.

How this coffee was produced
Honey with blackberry and yeast added
Harvesting & Selection
Ripe cherries are selected and floated to remove defects, then depulped while keeping the mucilage intact as part of the honey process.
Processing and Fermentation
Fresh "Castilla blackberries" are blended to prepare the "coffee mosto", which is fermented anaerobically with "enology yeast" for four days to preserve the fruit’s tannic profile. Once the mosto is ready, the coffee beans are added to the tank, allowing both the coffee and the fermented blackberry mosto to co-ferment for an additional four days in a sealed tanks. After this fermentation, the coffee undergoes a light wash to remove any excess of fruit.
Drying
The coffee is dried on sun-bed driers for 10 to 15 days until it reaches 11% moisture content.
