China No Stone Estate

Details

Located in Simao, Yunnan, China, No Stone Estate employs a honey process enhanced by fermentation with Buddha’s hand citrus enzymes. This method delivers prominent lemongrass and citrus notes with bright acidity.

Buddha's hand, also known as "fingered citron" or bergamot, is a type of citrus fruit with many finger-like segments. When fully ripe, it appears bright yellow and is also called "Buddha's hand." This fruit, renowned for its medicinal properties, is one of the most famous in the region of Simao, Yunnan, China. 

In this special coffee, enzymes from Buddha's hand are used in the fermentation process as part of the traditional honey processing method. Locally grown Buddha's hand is mixed with water and fermented for 8 days to achieve the ideal Brix and pH levels. This mixture is then added to coffee cherries for over 150 hours of anaerobic fermentation. The dry aroma subtly releases delicate light floral scents, while the wet aroma is characterized by notes of citrus, grapefruit, and a hint of lemongrass. Upon tasting, the lemongrass and grapefruit notes take the lead, showcasing bright citrus acidity reminiscent of green citrus fruits. After swallowing, a slight ginger lily flavor emerges, leaving a long-lasting finish on the palate.
