PRE-SALE The Fermentation project James Hoffmann ft. 94 celcius

Description

The box includes Four coffees of 100 g each, from exactly the same batch, but processed using four different methods. Mechanically demucilaged coffee (no fermentation — control coffee) Wild fermentation Lactobacillus inoculated fermentation Yeast inoculated fermentation (Saccharomyces) Total: 400 g of coffee. Why is this project unique? Usually, when we taste a fermented coffee, it's impossible to know exactly what fermentation has contributed, as we never taste the coffee "before." The Fermentation Project eliminates this variable. All four coffees come from: the same producer the same harvest the same varietal the same terroir The only difference is the fermentation process. This is likely the most educational experience ever offered on the subject. The four processes explained Control Coffee — Mechanically Demucilaged The mucilage is mechanically removed immediately after harvest. No fermentation takes place. This version allows you to discover the natural profile of the coffee, influenced solely by the varietal, terroir, and agricultural practices. Wild Fermentation The traditional process. The coffee ferments for 48 hours thanks to yeasts and bacteria naturally present on the fruit and in the environment. This method develops more complexity and represents the majority of traditional washed coffees. Lactobacillus Fermentation A specific culture of Lactobacillus is added during fermentation. This bacterium promotes the production of organic acids, generally increasing vibrancy, precision, and aromatic complexity. Yeast Fermentation A Saccharomyces culture is inoculated for 48 hours. Yeasts produce more aromatic precursors, which often influences body, texture, and the perception of sweetness. The coffee Producers: Hector & Lilian Leal (Rueda Farms) Farm: Finca San Miguel Urias Origin: Antigua, Guatemala Altitude: 1,460 – 1,540 m Varietals 85% Caturra 15% H1 Bourbon Global tasting After several weeks of rest, James Hoffmann will host a global tasting where thousands of enthusiasts will simultaneously compare the four coffees. You can participate from home with the exact same coffees tasted around the world. Why order from 94 Celcius? We are extremely happy to represent Canada alongside other roasters in this large-scale project. Each coffee will be roasted with the same attention to detail as our competition coffees to reveal the most subtle differences between the four fermentations. This box is not just a purchase. It is a sensory, educational, and unique experience that will undoubtedly mark the recent history of specialty coffee.
