Unique Processing Journey

This lot undergoes an adaptation of anaerobic processing created by Andres Quiceno & Julio Madrid, the producers of this lot. The coffee cherries are put through different metabolic stages to produce bold flavors. Ripe cherries are subjected to stress so that their temperature rises and falls to 12 degrees. After the de- pulping process the beans go into a bioreactor with starter cultures, and watermelon mossto. While in the nitrogen sealed bioreactor the temperature, acidity and Brix degrees are closely monitored to perfectly time the fermentation stage and initiate oxidation.  After leaving the bioreactor the coffee beans are dried in solar dryers to 40% moisture and then transferred to mechanical dryers until they reach 10-12% moisture. The coffee then rests for 45 days before being prepared for export.
