vmJairo Arcila has pioneered coffee fermentation techniques by incorporating wine yeast and dried fruits. The process involves a 72-hour dry anaerobic fermentation with ripe red fruits, such as pomegranate, cherry, and strawberry, enhancing aromatic complexity. Pulped cherries rest on raised beds with the fruits until optimal humidity is achieved, resulting in a distinctive micro-lot of 100% Castillo variety.

The enzymes naturally present in green coffee Whole Beans come into play during fermentation, breaking down complex compounds. The interaction between yeast, enzymes and compounds in Whole Beans creates new flavor compounds, contributing to a unique flavor profile. Fruity, floral and even wine-like notes can then emerge, also influencing the overall acidity of the coffee.
