What is the Anaerobic Natural processing method
This small lot was processed using the relatively new anaerobic natural process where coffee is fermented without oxygen. This distinct fermentation method results in complex, exotic flavors because of the different acids it creates. During this process, anaerobics are placed in sealed tanks that are pressurized from CO2 buildup. This additional pressure forces more juices and sugars into the coffee. The remaining pressure and oxygen are let out using releasing valves. As you can imagine, there is a considerable amount of meticulous attention to detail to produce this special coffee.
