Lactic Fermentation Washed
Used different fruits and ingredients such as passionfruit, pineapple, to feed on enzymes that were naturally extracted. On one hand to enhance the desirable flavours for the enzymes, and on the other hand providing them with enough sugar for prolonged fermentation. The process of cultivating enzymes to his ideal outcome took up to 190hrs. After that, another 180hrs was spent for the fermentation process of enzymes and coffee cherries in an air-tight environment. Finally, the coffee cherries were brought to drying for 20-25 days.
