About This Coffee

This coffee provides a unique experience as the flavour of it changes as the cup cools. With the first sip, this coffee resembles tea, but as it cools down, fruity notes emerge almost transforming this cup into a fruit punch. 

The Process

Hand-Picking

The Adventure begins when the cherries are first picked by hand from trees. After, cherries are submerged in water tanks and floaters are removed from the surface. Finally, the cherries are hand-sorted and ensured to allow only the best beans to undertake the double fermentation  Process.

Carbonic Maceration

The coffee cherries are sealed right after they are sorted inside 200 litre plastic cans filled with CO2 for a few hours. Then the cherries are partially pulped with some mucilage remaining.

Second Carbonic Maceration

Later, the cherries are placed back into CO2-filled plastic cans for the second step of fermentation.Throughout each fermentation, PH levels and temperature are monitored. Finally the coffee is dried on elbas (patios) for up to 30 days or until it reaches the desired moisture level between 10-12%.
