Its premise is this: take the same coffee and process it four different ways. This allows us to taste the impact fermentation has on a coffee while keeping the base coffee the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Four Processes are:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWashed (Mechanically Demuscilaged)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWild Fermentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLactobacillus Innoculated Fermentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaccharomyces Yeast Fermentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat comes with?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour 150g sample bags of each coffee.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn exclusive invite to join the online live global tasting with James Hoffman himself.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoffee Details:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003cspan\u003e Antigua Valley, Guatemala\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFarm:\u003cspan\u003e Finca San Miguel Urias\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProducer:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHector and Lilian Leal\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElevation:\u003cspan\u003e 1460–1540 masl\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVariety:\u003cspan\u003e ~85% Caturra, ~15% H1, \u0026lt;1% Bourbon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom Lucia Solis:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eUsing the same starting material, we created 4 different versions of the coffee to illustrate the effect of fermentation and processing on the same coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen people taste “fermented” coffees, they rarely get to taste the un-fermented version for comparison.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this project we processed a Mechanically Demucilaged coffee (no fermentation) to serve as the control. The profile of this coffee comes from growing practices and genetic varietal characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second coffee is a WILD fermentation (48 hour submerged fermentation with local, wild microbes). This is the traditional method most coffees experience where the mucilage is removed by the local microbe population.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe third coffee is an inoculated fermentation (48 hour submerged fermentation with Lactobacillus). Generally, the bacteria shows how through fermentation you can enhance the production of organic acids and impact the brightness and complexity of the coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fourth coffee is an inoculated fermentation (48 hour submerged fermentation with saccharomyces yeast). Generally, the yeast shows how through fermentation you can enhance the production of flavor precursors and impact the body and complexity of the coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eYou’ll need the following to take part in the tasting:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eYour set of 4 coffees from the project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eA coffee grinder, ideally a burr grinder\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e4 cups or small bowls.
