This set features three fermentation processed Geshas from Panama:
Interstellar Gesha | Yeast-Inoculated Anaerobic | Inca Eden/Finca Deborah
From Jamison Savage’s newest farm Iris Estate, Interstellar is a yeast-inoculated natural fermented over 100 hours, then dried in cherry on raised beds, pushing extended fermentation depth with careful control.
Tasting notes: Strawberry, Lime, Melon
Mario Banc Gesha | Natural Cold Dried | Hacienda La Esmeralda
Hacienda La Esmeralda’s Mario BANC follows a stepwise method: partial bed drying, cold anaerobic fermentation, then a 45-day natural cold-room finish, slowing fermentation for clarity and precision.
Tasting notes: Cherry, Mango Smoothie, Red Wine
Horizon Gesha | Carbonic Maceration | Finca Deborah
Horizon from Finca Deborah undergoes yeast-inoculated anaerobic fermentation in whole cherry before being pulped and finished as a washed coffee, a hybrid method uniting fermentative depth with structured clarity.
Tasting notes: Starfruit, White Cherry, Lulo
We dialed this set of coffees with the traditional Hario V60 paper filters. We found that the fermentation processes accelerated the brew times, allowing us to get great cup profiles with the standard filters. The Sibarist filters, which brew much faster, required very fine grind settings, to the point that the coffees were tasting muddled.
Our brew guides for this set were developed specifically with these filters, so you’ll get the most expressive and transparent results using them.
Buy NowFermentation has become coffee’s most dynamic frontier. In Punchdrunk, producers extend yeast-inoculated fermentation beyond 100 hours, manipulate oxygen through anaerobic environments, and slow natural drying in refrigerated rooms for weeks. These techniques allow sugars, acids, and aromatics to develop with greater depth and control. By managing time, temperature, pressure, and microbial activity, fermentation shifts from a passive step to an active design choice. The result is not unpredictability, but disciplined intensity, where structure and bold expression emerge from carefully guided variables.
