Clean, vibrant, and approachable on one side; fruit-forward, innovative, and complex on the other. Rather than choose, Black \u0026amp; White blend them together, letting a washed Ethiopian foundation carry a rotating co-ferment component that shifts with the seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis spring 2026 edition pairs 85% Refisa Washed from Oromia, Ethiopia with 15% Gigante Peach co-ferment from Los Patios in Huila, Colombia — the same peach co-ferment that's already earned a devoted following as a standalone release. The result is something genuinely crowd-pleasing: peach-forward and sweet, brightened by citrus, and grounded by the clean tea-like character of a beautifully executed washed Ethiopian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PRODUCERS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Refisa Washing Station sits in the Oromia region of Ethiopia and processes coffee from smallholder farmers in the surrounding area. Washed Ethiopian lots from Refisa are prized for their clean, transparent expression of terroir — floral, citric, and structured — making them an ideal backbone for a blend like this, where the base needs to hold its own alongside a bold co-ferment component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe co-ferment component comes from Los Patios, a wet mill in Huila, Colombia that has become one of Black \u0026amp; White's most trusted partners for experimental processing. Their Gigante Peach lot — produced by fermenting depulped coffee alongside a commercial peach concentrate and a proprietary Los Patios solution — is a signature of the programme, known for its intensely aromatic, clean-fruited character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe New School Peach brings together two distinct processing approaches:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🍒 \u003cstrong\u003eHand-picking\u003c\/strong\u003e — cherries selected at peak ripeness at both origins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e💧 \u003cstrong\u003eWashed — Refisa component\u003c\/strong\u003e — cherries depulped, fermented, and thoroughly washed for a clean, transparent cup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e☀️ \u003cstrong\u003eRaised-bed drying\u003c\/strong\u003e — Refisa parchment dried on African raised beds to optimal moisture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🧪 \u003cstrong\u003ePeach co-fermentation — Los Patios component\u003c\/strong\u003e — depulped coffee combined with peach concentrate and a proprietary fermentation solution; left to ferment for two days before drying\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e☀️ \u003cstrong\u003eExtended drying\u003c\/strong\u003e — Los Patios lot rotated constantly on drying beds for 12–16 days for even moisture reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✅ \u003cstrong\u003eBlending\u003c\/strong\u003e — both roasted components combined at an 85\/15 ratio to achieve the intended cup profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe washed Ethiopian provides structure, brightness, and clarity; the peach co-ferment brings intensity, aroma, and sweetness.

Complex citrus weaves through the cup alongside a classic black tea character from the Ethiopian base, and milk chocolate rounds out the finish with a gentle creaminess.
