This controlled fermentation environment encourages complex flavour development while preserving sweetness and aromatic intensity. Following fermentation, the coffee is carefully processed and dried to stabilise the flavour profile and lock in the vibrant fruit character developed during fermentation. The result is a beautifully expressive cup showcasing juicy Honeydew sweetness, ripe Mango character and sparkling Pear Cider complexity. It is vibrant, tropical and incredibly moreish, offering another fascinating glimpse into the creative world of Indonesian coffee processing.
