The cherries are then processed through a detailed sequence, oxidation, fermentation, thermal rinsing, quenching, and precision drying, with each stage adding complexity and polishing the final flavour profile. Afterwards, freshly picked Java cherries are added to the lot, pulped together, and fermented for a further 40 hours, bringing extra depth and vibrancy. The duo cherries are then precision dried to an ideal 11% moisture content, completing this exceptional honey-processed coffee.
