When it comes to innovative coffee processing, third generation coffee farmer Edwin Noreña is as skillful as he is ambitious. As a quality driven grower, Edwin has jumped wholeheartedly into Gesha cultivation. As an innovative processor, he has pushed the envelop of what can be possible in a coffee cup through pairing a complex processing method with the revered Gesha coffee cultivar while still preserving its integrity.
His processing of the Galaxy Gesha starts with carefully picked Gesha coffee. After an initial water immersion to float any underripe cherry, he then puts the whole cherry into large sealed drums for an initial 72 hour carbonic fermentation. The seeds are then removed from the drum and pulped. The sweet, raw coffee juice (or must) from the initial fermentation is then infused with Galaxy Hops and combined with the pulped seeds from the first fermentation and is returned to the carbonic fermentation drums for another 96 hours. This heavily co-fermented honey processed Gesha is then sun dried on raised beds for twenty-two days, followed by an eight day period of repose.
After repose, this coffee is sealed in Grain-Pro barrier packaging at origin and then sent on its way to our Roastery where we preserve the green coffee under hermetic seal until it is roasted as part of our Barrington Green Seal Program© .
The Galaxy Gesha is also available as a part of our Gesha Sampler.
NOTE: This coffee will be roasted and shipped only on Wednesday of each week.
