Noe is a small coffee producer who began producing micro-lots of single-variety Arabica Parainema a few years ago. He hand-picks the cherries one by one, selecting only those that are perfectly ripe. After pulping and processing the coffee using the honey fermentation method, the parchment beans are naturally dried in his greenhouse. His coffee is characterized by a distinctively shaped bean and exceptional cup quality.
