Processing Method

• Selection: Cherries are floated to remove impurities and evaluated for Brix levels.
• Micro-organism Cultivation: Lactobacillus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae are selected and cultivated separately before inoculating each microlot.
• Mother Culture Preparation: A blend of micro-organisms with red fruit juices and liquor.
• Fermentation: Cherries ferment for 190 hours with the mother culture blend.
• Finalization: Brix levels are maintained above 6 and pH above 4 to enhance fruit notes while preserving the coffee’s natural profile.
