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.
