About the coffee:

The coffee cherries are carefully hand-selected and placed in water-filled fermentation tanks, where lighter, lower-quality cherries are removed. This coffee starts with an initial 48-hour anaerobic fermentation in whole cherry, then de-pulped and fermented another 48-hour in mucilage. The cherries are then transferred to a tank for an extended 96–120 hour fermentation with yeast, closely monitored for temperature and pH. Finally, the coffee is thermal shocked with hot water (45–60°C) for 1–2 hours to complete the process.

The coffee is dried on African beds inside a parabolic dish for 15 days. Once the coffee reaches desired humidity, it's moved into grain pro bags.

Roaster's notes:

This coffee, as green, is super fragrant. It has heavy citrus and lemon peel notes. In the cup, I get an expressive white lilac/lemongrass base with a milky texture, and hints of acidity (lime, tangerine) pulls.
