The Deets

The Black Sheep is from Ximeng in China's Yunnan province. This lush mountainous area is located near the borders of Myanmar and Laos. After harvesting the ripest cherries, they undergo an initial 30-day anaerobic fermentation, drying to 35% moisture, and then an additional 20-day anaerobic fermentation before being dried to 10-12%. We taste a blackberry acidity up front, with loads of funky berry notes and a thick, dark chocolatey finish.

REST IN PEACE

We recommend resting fresh coffee before drinking it. This allows the volatility of the roast time to subside, and the sweetness and character to shine. For best results, rest washed coffees for 5–10 days, natural coffees for 10–15 days, and experimental processed coffees for 15–30 days.
