China, Aqi Badu

About This Coffee

Aqi Badu is named after the local village where its cherries are harvested. These cherries are run through an optical color sorter to remove foreign material and cherries which are over or under-ripe. The cherries are then fermented in a tank of fresh water for around two days, with time and temperature monitored regularly to ensure over-fermentation doesn’t occur. The cherries are finally spread and dried on raised beds on the drying patio, prior to hulling (the removal of dried skin and fruit flesh).
