WHAT'S THE PROCESSING
Carbonic maceration is a fermentation technique borrowed from the wine industry, adapted to coffee processing to create incredibly complex and expressive flavors. In this method, whole coffee cherries are placed in a sealed, oxygen-free tank filled with carbon dioxide, encouraging an anaerobic fermentation process.
This environment allows unique yeast and bacteria to break down sugars and acids in a controlled way, leading to vibrant, fruit-forward, and often intensely aromatic coffees.The result? Coffees with pronounced sweetness, enhanced acidity, and distinct flavor notes—often reminiscent of tropical fruits, berries, or even candy-like characteristics. This method requires precision and expertise, making it a hallmark of innovative producers like Edwin Noreña, who push the boundaries of coffee flavor.

PRICE TRANSPARENCY
Price transparency in coffee is vital because the price paid to farmers (based on the NYSE commodity price) often doesn't cover the true cost of production. This makes coffee unsustainable for many farmers.
Below, you can see what we paid for the coffee and what the farmer received. However, simply sharing the price without context wouldn't be meaningful. To provide a clearer picture, we've included the FairTrade Living Income Price for Colombia, the price that ensures farmers earn enough to cover their basic needs and maintain a decent standard of living.
