- Collection and classifications of cherries (95% ripe and 5% semi-ripe).
- Anaerobic fermentation in sealed tanks with CO2 injection for 200 hours at a constant temperature of 18° C. A mosto from previous Pink Bourbon cherries is added into the fermenting tanks as well as a live culture obtained by isolating microorganisms of plants that grow in the farm, in this case cardamon. This is similar to a ‘compost tea’
- 1st stage of drying happens on African beds inside polytunnels for approximately 20 days until the cherries reach 25% humidity. Maximum temperature of 40° C.
- 2nd drying stage; the cherries dry under partial shade inside polytunnels for approximately 5 days.
- A final stabilisation stage happens at the end where the cherries are placed inside GrainPro bags in cool and dry rooms for 15 days before threshing and shipping.

Pro Tips
- Grind Size: A finer grind increases extraction, intensifying flavour and strength. Too fine can lead to over-extraction and bitterness, while too coarse can result in under-extraction and sourness.
- Temperature: Higher temperatures enhance acidity, while lower temperatures reduce acidity, highlight sweetness, and minimize bitterness.
- Brew Ratio & Yield: To increase strength (viscosity), use a higher dose, a finer grind, or a shorter brew time. For clarity and brightness, adjust for a longer ratio or slightly coarser grind.
- Solubility: Light roasts require a finer grind and/or higher temperature to extract flavours fully. Medium-dark roasts extract more easily and may benefit from a slightly coarser grind and/or lower temperature.
