This high scoring coffee (90+) was achieved through a unique extended fermentation regime. The cherries were exposed to a dry aerobic fermentation for 25 hours and later placed inside grain pro bags for 60 hours maintaining a temperature below 22degrees Celsius by placing the bags inside a water tank. Later the coffee was placed on raised beds until 18% moisture content was achieved. The coffee was then placed inside grain pro bags again for 50 hours and later left to dry below 40degrees C on raised beds until 10.5% moisture content was achieved.
