Indulge in the extraordinary creation of Alchemist Edwin Noreña – a yellow
bourbon, fermented with citra hops, and sourced from the exquisite Finca
Campo Hermosa, Colombia. This year's rendition proves to be nothing short
of exceptional.
Edwin, a fervent fermentation enthusiast, directed his curiosity towards the
intersection of hops and coffee fermentation, resulting in this remarkable
lot. A wild-tasting offspring born from innovative inspiration, this coffee
undergoes a 120-hour anaerobic fermentation within the cherry. After
de-pulping, it returns to the old anaerobic fermentor for an additional 96
hours. Edwin introduces a distinctive twist by incorporating hops and malt
during the second fermentation.
The outcome is a coffee that defies norms and stands in a class of its own.
From the very first sip, the palate is graced with pronounced "hoppy" flavors,
reminiscent of the beloved citra hops often associated with trendy brewery
offerings. What distinguishes this brew is its impeccable balance, seamlessly
intertwining hoppy notes with a delightful tropical fruit sweetness and an
underlying sugary rock candy nuance. In the realm of coffee-tasting
experiences, this unique blend stands unparalleled – a true testament to
Edwin Noreña's ingenuity and unwavering commitment to pushing the
boundaries of flavor.

Customer Reviews
What an incredible light-roasted featured espresso. It blew my socks off.... tasted like pineapple juice. That night I decided I wanted to veer away from darker roasts at home and venture into lighter roasted beans that are more fruity/floral/honey, etc.
I had to go home and make a shot for my afternoon coffee... so i did and it is the first experience with light roasted beans on my Pico grinder and La Marzocco Micra machine. What a dialing in experience it was! With the grinder set as fine as it can possibly go, I was able to pull a 1:2 shot at about 30 seconds with 17 grams in the basket and approx. 34 grams out.
My god.... it's amazing! A very clean cup with hoppy, fruity, floral notes blasting through. By far the best shot of espresso I have ever had. Absolutely stunningly delicious.
