Honey Process & Anaerobic Coffee Processing:
This lovingly curated Tarrazu green coffee blends San Diego Honey Process coffee and Anaerobic Process coffee from Cordillera de Fuego.
The Honey processing method started in Costa Rica but has since spread to other countries across the globe. In this process some or all of the mucilage of the coffee cherry – aka coffee honey – that coats the parchment is left on during the drying stage, giving the coffee a sweeter profile than washed coffees.
The Anaerobic process begins with selection of handpicked mature coffee cherries that have a Brix degree (a measurement of sugar content) near 26. Selecting the cherries when they are at their ripest ensures a high sugar content, which helps feed the anaerobic process.
At the mill, the coffee is depulped and put in air-tight, stainless-steel tanks with the mucilage left on. The absence of oxygen stimulates an anaerobic fermentation process. The process develops in a unique series of acids such as lactic and malic, which results in a very complex flavor.
One of the current ways we serve our home town of Topeka, KS includes promoting community and featuring local businesses through our Tasting Room Events we host in our roasting facility. We pair up a local food provider with lots and lots of our coffee. Our goal in these events is to bring a large group together to celebrate being together in person, and to enjoy excellent locally produced goods and flavors. We feel this is something worth investing our time and profits in. Our world is in desperate need of more face-time with each other and overall support of our local businesses. Subscribe to our email list to stay up to date on upcoming events.
Community Pour
Community Pour is a pop-up coffee experience we facilitate at our retail partner coffee-shop locations. 100% of proceeds will go toward a local charity chosen by our hosting shop. Our menu will consist of one non-customizable drink presentation, featuring extreme quality ingredients to create a unique one of a kind tasting experience. We will share flavors that may not make sense to offer on a regular menu, but just scream “try me”! Quality at its finest, showcasing local ingredient providers when possible, and the skills of the barista. Balanced flavors that aren’t masked by the overuse of sweeteners. All drinks will be served “dine-in” in ceramic or glass vessels to be enjoyed on premises. Meeting, greeting and deep conversations are highly encouraged!
