For this lot SL28 varietal coffee cherries are handpicked at peak ripeness. These cherries are washed to remove any soil or debris, any over ripe or underripe cherries are removed, then it is placed in a stainless steel silo, the container is sealed, all the oxygen is purged out using pressurized CO2, here it undergoes slow fermentation under carbon rich environment. After 72hrs of fermentation these cherries are removed and pulped leaving all the mucilage on the beans, then it is dried under shade on raised african beds in a controlled environment for 24-26 days. This process gives this already distinct coffee a very unique and layered complex flavour profile.
Note: This process is also called carbonic macerated honey sun-dried or pulp sun-dried.
