12oz Colombia Cauca Manos Juntas Micromill

This Natural processed coffee comes from the Manos Juntas Micromill who is known for producing beautiful coffee.  They strive to make coffee production simple for producers by paying them up front and taking responsibilities of processing and exporting.

This particular offering was first purchased in its cherry form when delivered to the mill on the day of harvest. Upon arrival, the cherries are placed in large hermetic tanks for a five-day-long anaerobic fermentation: Each tank is labeled with the name of the producer, to retain traceability.  During this period, nitrogen gas is introduced into the tanks in order to stimulate the yeast.  Data is collected constantly through the process to help determine the stopping point for fermentation; the coffee is then subjected to 20 degree Celsius temps in order to cease fermentation and remove the yeast and other microorganisms.

Lastly, the cherry is then "aged" in tanks for a period of five more days before they are taken to solar dryers for 30-45 days.
