Anaerobic Honey Process

Ripe coffee cherries are placed inside stainless steel containers along with clean water.  Nitrous oxide is injected into the tank to quickly displace and remove oxygen, which helps slow down the fermentation process.  Naturally present yeast and bacteria contribute to the fermentation of sugars in the coffee cherries, while holding a constant temperature maintains a slow fermentation over the course of 60 hours.  The cherries are then pulped with the sticky mucilage left attached to the coffee seeds.  The coffee is then placed on raised beds to dry over the course of 28-32 days.

This anaerobic processing creates a perfumy aroma, expressed by honeysuckle, orange blossom, and jasmine. Fruit flavors of blueberry, raspberry, and orange sorbet are anchored by the impression of vanilla bean in the aftertaste. A syrupy mouthfeel is complimented perfectly by the juicy, berry-like acidity.
