Innovative process
This year our new innovative process is where we wanted to let the natural yeast and bacteria at the Langbiang Mountain do its work.
Processing
As always selection, cleaning, and floating are crucial steps for best quality. After that full cherries are placed into shallow fermentation tanks for 60 hours with the presence of oxygen (aerobic). During this fermentation, lactic bacteria from multiple ecosystems (water, soil, air, plants) find a rich environment for their development creating lactic acid.
Drying
After the fermentation process, cherries are carefully washed and spread out for drying. With this coffee, we want to showcase slight differences in fermentation with and without oxygen when it comes to comparison to anaerobic natural.
