Double Anaerobic Fermentation
Cup Profiles
The extended fermentation and selected terroir of our Double Anaerobic Fermented coffee create a deliciously layered and complex flavour profile. Think; ripe bananas, strawberry and cherry. An integrated winey acidity opens to a silky, almost yoghurt-like mouth feel.
For Sheba Coffee’s Double Anaerobic Fermented coffees, the freshly picked cherries are first placed into hermetic bags to ferment for a short period of time. The cherries are then removed from their bags and placed in our greenhouse for a similar period of time. This breaks the fermentation process and helps to enhance the coffee’s unique cup profile.
The cherries are then returned into hermetic bags once again for a short period to continue the fermentation process. After which, they are returned to our greenhouse to allow the twice-fermented coffee to slow-dry under our care and attention.
Finally, the coffee cherries are taken to the raised beds to dry under direct sunlight. Here, the beans are regularly turned, stabilising the moisture of the coffee. When a reading of 12% moisture is recorded, the dried cherry is collected and bagged, ready to be milled.
