Oscar's expertise shines through and showcases variety and the differences between Colombia and Bourbon with both of their coffees on our menu.  This lot utilizes a specialized anaerobic fermentation. After de-pulping, the beans are placed in hermetic tanks with mosto; a pre-fermented liquid collected from previous batches that is rich in native microorganisms. The fermentation is monitored at approximately 18°C to maintain stability. Once fermented, the coffee is thoroughly rinsed and dried slowly on raised beds for 15 days, it is followed by a 30-day stabilization period in GrainPro bags to ensure flavor consistency.
