Sumava 'Black Moon'

Pilot Coffee Roasters

About This Coffee

— Limited Edition — To mark our decade-long partnership, we asked Francisco to lean into his most innovative coffee processing techniques. His answer: Black Moon—a method first achieved during a solar eclipse, which inspired its name. This Villa Sarchi micro-lot comes from one of the farm’s highest elevations, where this smaller variety matures slowly and sugars form over time. Black Moon processing mirrors this low-and-slow philosophy: cherries are rested, then placed in fermentation tanks, with mucilage intact and conditions kept cool. The result brings a refined taste related to fine cognac and dark fruits. Black Moon celebrates innovation, friendship, and the enduring bond we share with Sumava de Lourdes and Francisco Mena
