Roaster's Word:

"Co-fermented: Right after the pandemic, Aquiares courageously embarked on a new segment to produce and extract essential oils from organic and medicinal plants. A women-led department was born and with the construction of an extraction plant, right in the coffee mill, they started extracting oils, but also residual hydrosol in a coffee fermentation inoculum.

The fully ripe cherries are taken to the mill, where the floating cherries are separated. The cherries of optimum quality are then placed inside plastic barrels, hydrolate from the essential oil extraction plant (surplus liquid resulting from the essential oil extraction process used as inoculum) is incorporated and then the tank is sealed. Temperature and pH are checked twice a day, and once a pH of 4.3 is reached (after 1-2 days), the fermentation process is stopped and the coffee is sent to the sun drying area."
