Colombia Campo Hermoso Cherry Madness Coferment Espresso - Single Origin

Colombia Campo Hermoso Cherry Madness Coferment Espresso - Single Origin.

Edwin Norena is a producer, agronomist and processing innovator who leads Finca Campo Hermoso in Circasia, Quindio. Coffee has been part of his family for generations, and he has continued that legacy by treating the farm as a space for research and experimentation.

For this lot, cherries underwent 24 hours of low oxygen fermentation at 18 to 22°C before entering a 120 hour carbonic maceration in 2,000 kilogram tanks. During this stage, mossto was collected and inoculated with a specific yeast culture and combined with an allulose solution, dehydrated fruit and fresh raspberries. It was recirculated every 24 hours across five cycles at 18°C. The coffee was then sun dried in a controlled greenhouse for 10 days, stabilised, cleaned, cupped and classified.

Edwin’s cofermentation work, partly inspired by craft brewing, has earned him a reputation as “the alchemist.” Through carefully measured stages of fermentation, drying and storage, he brings imagination and technical precision to the way Colombian coffee can be grown, processed and experienced.

Produced by Edwin Norena in the Quindio region of Colombia, the Colombia Campo Hermoso Cherry Madness Coferment Espresso represents a meticulous approach to modern coffee production. This single-origin offering from Code Black Coffee utilizes an anaerobic processing method, a technique often employed to manipulate the fermentation environment to enhance specific aromatic and flavor profiles. While anaerobic coffees are frequently noted for their intense, complex character, this specific lot highlights a vibrant spectrum of berries, citrus, floral, and stone fruit notes.

When evaluating such distinct profiles, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better identify the nuances between the bright acidity of citrus and the deeper sweetness of stone fruits. By combining precise fermentation control with high-quality cherry selection, this coffee showcases the evolving landscape of Colombian specialty production, offering a cup that is both remarkably strong and balanced.
