The Process

How this coffee was produced

Honey co-fermented with blackberry and yeast

01. Harvesting

Ripe cherries are selected and floated to remove defects, then depulped while keeping the mucilage intact as part of the honey process.

02. Processing

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.

03. Drying Phase

The coffee is dried on sun-bed driers for 10 to 15 days until it reaches 11% moisture content.
