about me
Blue Iris is a gorgeous Anaerobic Honey from Project One Light in Yunnan with notes of lychee, lemongrass & oolong tea.
This is the very first Yunnan coffee we’ve had in the rotation. Project One Light is a specialty coffee processing business located in the heart of Yunnan, China. It was founded in 2021 by Olina Cai, a Yunnan native with over 5 years of experience in the specialty coffee & tea industry. The Anaerobic Honey lot was named Blue Iris after its distinct floral fragrance.
The Project One Light team select only the ripest coffee cherries from high-altitude regions (1300-1500masl), in Mangshi, Dehong. They meticulously control both the temperature & humidity throughout the anaerobic fermentation process. The cherries are then placed on sun-drying shelves, allowing the elements to weave their magic for two weeks.
