OUR PROCESSING METHODS
HONEY - DOUBLE FERMENTED - WASHED
After many trials and errors, we developed the perfect processing techniques for various coffee flavours:
- Honey processed: "Pulped natural" or "honey process" is a method in which the fresh coffee cherries are de-pulped, but allowed to dry without washing. Most of the cherry is gone, but the remaining golden, sticky mucilage is reminiscent of honey, which is where the process gets it name. Taste: A pleasant middle ground with an extra hint of sweetness. Complex, sweet, heavy-bodied, and with a mellow acidity, honeys are delicious!
- Double fermentation: In the double fermentation processing method, farmers de-pulp the cherries immediately after harvest and place the mucilage coated seeds in fermentation tanks, with minimal water contact, for 12 to 24 hours depending on the rate of fermentation wanted. Taste: The sugars in the coffee bean are left to ferment, this gives the bean a richer and exceptionally clean taste.
- Washed: Unlike the natural processed coffee, the washed process involves the removal of the cherry and mucilage surrounding the seed, and then submerging the seeds in water where a fermentation process removes the remaining flesh. Taste: Clear and vibrant notes. Fruit notes are still found, however, fermented and berry notes are less common.
