The cherries were then left open air tanks over night. The coffees are transferred to large barrels the next morning. The selected yeast used for this process is selected red wine yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae that is used by the wine industry for making red wine. This red wine yeast is known for fast fermentation and flavour development. This gives the coffees a fruiter flavour. Anaerobic form of fermentation was done with regular monitoring for 3 days. The Coffees were directly dried on raised beds in our green house with regular raking to achieve even drying for a period of 20 days.

The coffees are picked, washed and sanitised and only the selected red cherries are depulped without water to retain mucilage using a small pulper. The coffee cherries are then placed in double walled stainless steel tanks and infused with my grandmothers home cultivated wine yeast recipe for a period of 72 hrs anaerobically which was used to make different types of wine at home. The produces a very fast fermentation and results in complex flavours and a bolder cup. They are then transferred in raised beds in the green house with thicker raking to retain Mucilage and moisture for 3 days and raked regularly for even drying.

A lactobacillus bacteria mix and yogurt are added to the coffee fruits in the fermentation tank. The temperature is kept below 22 degrees Celsius, and pH and oxygen levels are carefully monitored to create an environment conducive for lactobacillus to flourish and dominate the fermentation. This fermentation process is prolonged for 110 hours. After fermentation, the coffees are moved to raised beds for drying, where they must be raked to ensure even drying. The drying process is slow, taking 18 to 28 days until the coffee reaches a moisture content of 10% to 12%. Following drying, the coffees are rested for a minimum of 15 days. In the post-drying process, the coffee is hulled with great care, and the beans are completely garbled to ensure a defect-free grade.
