Coffee Producer's Note:
In the Lactic Fermentation Natural process, coffee fruits are transferred to a special fermentation tank where anaerobic conditions are maintained. 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.
