Coffee Producer's Note -
The coffees used this process are picked from a block with one of the highest elevations of the estate 3600ft. Based on the ripeness and quality, only the bright red cherries were picked for this process. The ripe red cherries were carefully hand sorted and sanitised to remove the defects and floaters. 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.
