AGUA SARCA 348 HOURS NICARAGUA

£13.50

This year we bought two coffees from the same farm, - Agua Sarca - that have different fermentation times of the same process. Available to buy seperately, and as a bundle. Try both to see how the flavour of the coffee changes over time.

Super sweet and boozy; this coffee has been hand picked and processed in tanks for 348 hours. The result is this amazingly decadent profile, brimming with rum and raisins.

Anaerobic Fermentation

Anaerobic fermentation takes place inside large tanks, filled with water and sealed tight to keep the air out.

The natural yeasts and healthy bacteria found on the skin of the coffee cherries help to kickstart the fermentation process and work together to breakdown the sugars in the fruit. The coffee is monitored by temperature and pH level until Carlos, the producer, is happy with the result. Although there is almost zero actual sugar left in the bean, it tastes more naturally sweet after going through this process due to the flavour compounds that are released as the sugars are being broken down. Thanks science!
