More Info
To create this coffee, both dry and wet fermentation techniques are used to achieve a virtually perfect sensory profile. Wet fermentation involves placing the cherries, within 18 hours of harvest, in airtight 500-liter containers filled with water and equipped with a unidirectional valve to allow gas to escape.
After 48 hours of fermentation, the saturated water produces foam that begins to overflow from the valve, indicating the end of fermentation.
On the other hand, dry fermentation follows the same technique, but no water is introduced into the containers. This method is employed to increase the brix levels (sugar content) of the cherries, resulting in a fuller-bodied and sweeter cup.
Subsequently, cherries processed using both methods are carefully blended and dried on raised beds for approximately 20-24 days.
