What does White Honey Carbonic Maceration mean?
White Honey describes a percentage of coffee fruit contact with the coffee seeds during the drying and processing of the coffee cherries. Carbonic Maceration refers to an additional processing step in which coffees are fermented in airtight, carbon-dioxide-rich environments, allowing the cherries to break down different levels of pectin and produce bright and vibrant flavors, intensifying inherent characteristics.
More about this coffee
From Unblended: "The Geisha Lavado White Honey CM coffee beans are processed with great care and attention to detail. The cherries are collected and sorted to ensure that 95% of them are ripe and 5% are semi-ripe. The beans then undergo anaerobic fermentation in 200-liter tanks at a constant temperature of 18°C, with CO2 injection and submersion in water with an oxygen pump for 48 hours. After fermentation, the beans undergo a two-phase drying process, which is carefully controlled and slowed down using shade netting. Finally, the beans are packaged in Grain-Pro bags and stabilized for 15 days. This meticulous process results in high-quality coffee that is
sure to delight coffee lovers."
