This lot begins with the selection of overripe cherries—chosen for their rich concentration of tannins, esters, and polyphenols that enhance fruity complexity. The cherries undergo ozone disinfection before a 36-hour anaerobic fermentation submerged in water. After pulping and demucilaging, a unique culture of microorganisms—developed from the coffee's own mucilage and pulp—is reintroduced in a second fermentation phase. This step helps bind flavor and aroma precursors directly to the beans. A thermal shock stage follows to seal in the flavors, before a careful drying process in a dehumidifier locks in
