Edwin Noreña is the type of person that will casually say something like, “..when I was working with the United Nations,” or “…my time as a judge at the Colombia Cup of Excellence,” in everyday conversation. These aren’t boasts. They’re simply reflections that Edwin is a consummate coffee professional, and his life experiences exemplify that fact. Adding to his coffee acumen, he is a fourth-generation coffee grower and a certified Q-grader.

Many coffee lovers know Edwin for his prowess in fermentation techniques and for good reason. His offerings are consistently of the highest caliber in the world of coferments and experimental processes. He became a leader of this growing trend in coffee by building a working knowledge of techniques and their effects on the cup. He is also generous with this knowledge and will readily share with anyone who is interested in listening.

Edwin is much more than a master processor. He’s a visionary who is always looking to the future. This is Edwin’s approach – dream, experiment, share – with the end goal of elevating producers and coffee as a whole.
