Processing

Washed: the cherries are depulped, fermented to loosen the mucilage, washed and dried. This gives clean, bright cups that show the variety and terroir clearly.

Co-fermented: the producer adds cultures or fruit during fermentation to shape the profile. Details for each lot come with the samples.
