Misty Mountain

Description

Everything about this lot is slow. The cherries were picked on 21 February 2026, on a rainy overcast day under a waxing crescent moon, which the farm writes down because they believe it matters.

The fruit is pulped by hand and left to ferment for a day with wild yeast in the cold. One day of sun on African beds, then 25 days in a dark climate controlled room, and milling by size, by density and by hand. You can taste the care in every step.

Jasmine and lychee come first, nectarine settles in behind them, and a gentle black tea dryness holds the whole cup together.

Longboard Specialty Coffee was founded by Justin Boudeman, who passed away in August 2025. His stepdaughter Noemi Montenegro runs it now, and one kilo found its way to us.
