We harvest the coffee at its optimal ripeness and let it rest in barrels for 24 hours. Then we place it in water to separate the good beans from the defective ones and proceed with pulping. The coffee undergoes a honey-process fermentation using ripe strawberries, glucose, and concentrated natural strawberry juice for 48 hours. This step brings out fruity notes and a delicate cup profile. Finally, the coffee is sun-dried for 2 days and then transferred to a silo until it reaches the ideal moisture level, ensuring its quality and stability.
The cherries or the pulped beans go into a sealed tank where oxygen is kept out and fermentation runs on the sugars of the fruit itself, at a controlled temperature, for one to several days. The producer decides when to open the tank; the coffee then dries as a washed, honey or natural.
Controlled fermentation is what gives these lots their intense, layered aromatics — and why no two tanks taste alike.
