Preparation: The process begins by placing harvested coffee cherries into a bioreactor with fruit must, starter cultures, and cultured yeast. 2. Oxygen Removal: Oxygen is expelled to create anaerobic conditions, setting the stage for fermentation. 3. Fermentation Initiation: Fermentation is meticulously controlled, with careful monitoring of temperature, pH, and Brix levels to ensure optimal conditions. 4. Drying: Following fermentation, the beans are sun-dried for 25 days and then mechanically dried for an additional 5 days to lock in the unique characteristics developed through cultured fermentation.
