SIDRA EDWIN NOREÑA

Variety: Sidra
Region: Valle del Cauca, 

Quindio, Colombia
Farm: Campo Hermoso
Altitude: 1750 masl.

Processing: Carbonic Maceration, Black Honey

Picking: The cherries are handpicked at a ripeness exceeding 23° Brix, ensuring high sugar content and optimal flavour development. Initial hand-sorting is carried out on the farm to select only the best cherries.

Sorting: Upon harvesting, the cherries are soaked in water for five hours to clean and sort them by density. This step ensures only fully ripe and high-quality cherries proceed. Further manual sorting is conducted both on the farm and during the milling stage.

Fermentation: The process begins with an initial carbonic maceration of the whole cherries for 96 hours. The cherries are then de-pulped, with all the mucilage left intact. A secondary anaerobic fermentation follows for 48 hours, during which the coffee’s own mosto (the fermented juice from the cherries) is recirculated. This mosto is enriched with HS&F yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), amino acids, and glucose to enhance microbial activity and complexity in the cup.

Drying: After fermentation, the coffee is slowly dried on African raised beds, using 100% sun drying. The drying period lasts 10 to 15 days, depending on weather conditions, to ensure an even and gradual moisture reduction.

Flavours: yuzu, cardamom, pineapple, sage, cinnamon, apple cider

Description

From the heart of Colombia’s Quindío region comes a truly exceptional coffee: Sidra Black Honey from Campo Hermoso. Grown at 1,750 metres above sea level, this microlot is the work of Edwin Noreña – a respected Q-Grader, COE judge, and one of Colombia’s most passionate and innovative coffee producers.

This cup is a sensory journey: it opens with sparkling notes of yuzu and crisp apple cider, followed by layers of tropical pineapple and sweet spice – cardamom and cinnamon dancing together in perfect balance. A delicate whisper of sage rounds out the experience, adding depth and complexity. The body is silky and refined, with a vibrant acidity that lingers elegantly.

Behind the cup is not just skill, but vision. Edwin combines decades of coffee expertise with a deep connection to his land – Campo Hermoso has been in his family since childhood. His dedication to quality is evident in every step of production, from careful cherry selection to thoughtful post-harvest techniques.

Enjoy!
