The process
This unique Caturra undergoes a meticulously crafted anaerobic semi-washed process with several detailed steps. The process begins with 60 hours of aerobic fermentation in a concrete tank, where the cherries are floated to remove any that do not meet quality standards. Following this, the coffee is depulped and transferred to special anaerobic steel tanks, where the pH is monitored daily to ensure optimal fermentation conditions.
Huver explains that the coffee is ready when the pH is close to 4.5. At this point, he adds a lactic acid bacteria mix, made from cooked sugarcane and passionfruit, to the tanks to cultivate a specific fermentation profile that Huver has perfected over the past four years. After fermentation, the coffee is sun-dried for an average of 20 days. Finally, it is stored in GrainPro bags for an additional 20 days before milling, ensuring stability and preservation of its unique characteristics.
