Frequently Asked Questions

What is Anaerobic Thermal Shock?

A process where coffee cherries undergo an oxygen-deprived fermentation, followed by a rapid temperature change. This sudden shock seals the pores of the coffee bean, locking in the unique flavors and aromas.

Why use lab-isolated microbes?

Using carefully isolated microbes in a controlled bioreactor ensures a clean, consistent, and highly predictable fermentation, preventing the development of undesirable off-flavors.
