New release: SL28 Darkroom Natural by Café FERYEN
We’re delighted to congratulate Café FERYEN for taking 4th place at the 2026 BOP Varietals category with their exceptional SL28! Over the last three years, we’ve seen Yeni and her team take huge leaps in quality improvements with every harvest we source from their farm in Boquete. Last year, they began experimenting with dark room processing, and we’re happy to secure a lot of this in their first official release.
How dark room processing works at Finca Feryen:
1. Full ripened SL28 cherries is selectively picked (this batch was harvested on 18 Feb)
2. Then they’re fermented at a controlled temperature for 60 hours
3. Cherries rest and dried in a dark, temperature-controlled drying room for 40 days at 17ºC
The resulting cup profile is juicy and vibrant, with notes of raspberry, red grapes, and plum.
Available now, with upcoming releases of Finca Feryan Geisha Darkroom Washed and a Pacamara that also earned them 3rd place in the 2025 BOP coming soon.
