About:

This might be the most intense coffee I’ve ever  purchased. But I’m still very happy that I had the  pleasure of trying this wild microlot! It is  fermented in an open environment for 72hours,  then rinsed. Both peppermint and yeast is added  to the coffee to ferment with it for another 96  hours! It is then sun dried for 21 days until the  correct moisture levels are reached. It’s important to remember that this coffee is  fermented with products that aren’t naturally  occuring within coffee. Some see this  infusion process as cheating or unethical but I  think it’s fine as long as the correct information  is displayed regarding its processing method.
