Farm and Impact Story:
Andre Martinez is a producer whose work bridges science and coffee, a biochemical engineer by training. He has always been connected to his coffee growing roots, which led him to pursue a career in the industry.
 
Hand harvested cherries are floated for selection before undergoing a 48-hour fermentation in closed tanks with beer yeast. The coffee is then depulped and fermented for an additional 24 hours, following a semi-washed approach - depulped without water and then fermented with water - to enhance sweetness and fruit character while maintaining clarity. Drying takes place on raised beds and staged phases with increased sun exposure over time, lasting between 12 - 18 days depending on conditions.
