BLACK LABEL RELEASE #2

Jose (Pocho) is an engineer by trade, and a curious individual always seeking to find new and inventive ways to improve his coffee quality. Experimental drying rooms, along with a multitude of less than stellar experiments have driven him to create some of the most amazing coffees in the world.  We knew that Jose would sort out an amazing Anaerobic expression of his already exceptional coffees, and now we get to share it with you.

To start Jose made a selection from Colubre, the highest elevation portion of the famed Finca Nuguo farm.  Ripe cherries are placed into large barrels to ferment without oxygen for 48-72 hours depending on air temp at the farm.  Jose does not add any manufactured yeast, but instead relies on the environmental yeast as Nuguo is extremely close to a massive nature preserve with all kinds of flora and fauna.  At this end of this time Jose then takes to coffee to his temperature and Humidity controlled drying room at his house 2 hours away.  There continues to ferment and dries the coffees in a 24C/45% humidity room.

It should be no surprise that this coffee is a stunner, and we couldn't be more excited to share it with you.

Finca Nuguo is owned and run by Pocho and the Gallardo family who live in David with Nuguo located in a remote area Juratungo, Panama. Nuguo is the crown jewel of Jose Gallardo Sr’s (Pocho’s father) coffee growing business. It is just a small 5 hector farm planted with Gesha variety trees 12 years ago. This small farm was largely unattended until Jose Gallardo Jr (Pocho) took it over 3.5 years ago. Along with Pocho’s Engineering background, and Tim Hill from Counter Culture Coffee’s help, Pocho made changes to the production and drying techniques, which got him first place in the “Best of Panama Coffee” washed coffee competition. The coffee took first place over names like “la Esmerelda” and “Elida Estate” famous for their year in and year out quality. Pocho’s and Jose’s coffee has been featured in the final rounds of the World Barista Competition the last two years, along with another Panamanian Gesha grower names Jamison Savage of Finca Deborah.

Lem and Kyle picked Pocho’s coffees for their amazing floral character, clean sweetness, and amazing lime like acidity. This particular acidity to believed to be due to Nuguo’s elevation and terrain situated right on the edge of La Amistad International Park.

Every year coffee professionals and customers alike long for their beloved Natural Ethiopian Coffees. For so many people these Natural Ethiopians represent that "aha" coffee that changes everything, and reshuffles everything believed to be true about coffee and coffee flavor. We are so happy to have an opportunity at a very early Natural Ethiopia from the very group that truly changed my coffee life. Yirgacheffe is known for its intensely floral washed coffees and big red fruit natural coffees. I am happy to say that this beautiful early harvest Natural Yirg clearly shows both sides of that coin. Big Floral Bergamot, with beautiful Red fruits displayed as raspberry on the cupping table, with a beautiful juicy texture that we love so much on these super sweet Ethiopian Coffees.

This is a blend from a group of 18 producers in Alto Cañada, La Plata. Kyle met them last year and was humbled by their kindness and impressed by their amazing coffee quality. Its members showed an inspiring amount of dedication to producing the highest quality coffee possible, along with an uncompromising commitment to transitioning to fully organic production. We have always loved coffees from La Plata, and some of the earliest coffees we received were from here and finding a group of producers this organized and dedicated is very rare. We are very excited to see what they are capable of doing in the coming years.
