For those of you ordering our roasts for the first time - we roast on an IMF roaster and roast light. The Ultimate Educational Coffee Box for Coffee LoversThis limited-edition tasting kit is a global collaboration between world-renowned coffee educator James Hoffmann and fermentation specialist Lucia Solis. By taking a single, identical harvest from Antigua, Guatemala, and splitting it into four separate processing methods, this kit isolates the exact impact that microbes and fermentation have on your morning cup. It is designed specifically for side-by-side comparative cuppings, but we've included enough coffee for you to also enjoy brewing them after the event or cup again with friends. The kit contains 4 x 100g bags of the four processes: 01. Mechanically Demucilaged (The Control)The Process: Mucilage is stripped instantly via mechanical equipment with zero fermentation time.The Flavor: The baseline cup, presenting pure coffee genetics, terroir, and clean acidity. 02. Wild Fermentation (The Traditional)The Process: Coffee is fermented for 48 hours relying entirely on native, ambient yeasts and bacteria.The Flavor: A classic Guatemalan profile with enhanced complexity, body, and traditional regional fruit notes. 03. Lactobacillus Inoculated (The Bacteria)The Process: Inoculated with a specific lactic acid bacteria strain to steer the fermentation pathway.The Flavor: Creamy, lactic mouthfeel with bright, crisp, food-like organic acidity. 04. Yeast Inoculated (The Catalyst)The Process: Fermented using a selected, commercial wine-style yeast strain.The Flavor: Intensely aromatic, highly structured, clean fruit notes, and an elongated finish."
