It is characterized by a clean, complex profile with a typically sweet taste and a broad range of flavour notes. Edwin Noreña does a fantastic job at exploring the range of the Caturra's complexity with his advanced processing methods and highly controlled experimental conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEdwin Noreña is a fourth-generation farmer and coffee innovator. His farm, Finca Campo Hermoso, produces incredibly distinct and extraordinary coffees. Edwin has created a unique co-fermentation technique that introduces compounds like dehydrated fruits and organic spices to the fermentation tanks during processing. His technique eliminates the need for large amounts of water during processing and he intentionally utilizes excess coffee husks for compost and fertilizer. In addition to his sustainable farming and exceptional processing, Edwin currently serves as a coffee processing consultant, Q-grader, and head judge for the Colombian Cup of Excellence.\n\nNoreña's complex experimental honey process first begins with harvesting the cherries and soaking them in water for 2 hours to clean and sort. The cherries are then monitored under a low oxygen system for 24 hours at approximately 18 to 22 degrees Celsius. At Campo Hermoso, the cherries undergo carbonic maceration for 48 hours. Prior to maceration, an external culture is created and inoculated with a specific yeast, dehydrated fruits, and organic powdered cinnamon. After the cherries reach an approximate black honey level fermentation, they are sun-dried in greenhouses and stabilized with the solution for 10 days, resulting in a coffee that is unlike any we've had before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoaster Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEdwin Noreña consistently inspires us on what is possible with coffee fermentation. This strawberry cinnamon co-ferment we call Red Velvet cake is a fan favourite and a staple on the menu. This coffee, Red Velvet Cake, is decadent and sweet like cherries, strawberries, baking spices and chocolate. We get an intensely sweet and funky profile of jammy strawberries, red velvet cake, chocolate, and cherry. This coffee has a round body and a long, sweet finish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Norma Supply Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45794401550380,"sku":"SC-20260712-RED-VELVET-CAKE-COLOMBIA-CATUR-250G","price":29.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/0750\/6732\/files\/IMG-0322_29e16134-3c2f-4cd6-90e1-fc98070e7806.jpg?v=1783874511","url":"https:\/\/normasupply.co\/products\/september-coffee-red-velvet-cake-colombia-caturra-caturra-experimental-honey-co-ferment-colombia-250g-1","provider":"Norma Supply Co.
