Cetec

This exciting lot from Fazenda Cetec in Minas Gerais was a project that we embarked on in 2021. Collaborating with Heitor and Márcio in Brazil, we were able to suggest how we thought the processing should be carried out to achieve some interesting result. Having already purchased lots from them in previous years, we know the strengths that they bring to fermented lots. Because of this we were interested in the use of fruit to encourage the fermentation process and add complexity to the final cup.

After picking the yellow cherries from the Arara plants, the coffee is placed in closed tanks without any oxygen to not only create an anaerobic environment, but also allow the released carbon to steep creating a sweet, boozy coffee.
