VANESSA MORENO

Vanessa Moreno is inspired by sustainability and connection to the land: we are excited to share her coffee for the first time. This anaerobic lot is like sweet summer strawberries and fresh fruit yogurt.

Produced by Vanessa Moreno, this lot showcases the distinct profile often associated with the anaerobic fermentation technique. In this process, cherries are fermented in an oxygen-free environment, a method that frequently intensifies the fruit-forward characteristics of the bean. While natural-processed coffees often lean toward heavy, jammy sweetness, anaerobic lots like this one from The Barn are frequently noted for their vibrant, clean acidity and complex fruit profiles.

The cup presents clear notes of sweet summer strawberries and fresh fruit yogurt, offering a bright and creamy experience. For those looking to better understand how specific techniques influence these sensory qualities, our processing methods explainer provides a deeper look into the science behind the cup. To further explore the vocabulary used to describe these nuanced flavors, we recommend referencing our flavor wheel, which serves as a helpful guide for identifying the delicate fruit and dairy-like notes found in this particular selection.
