Mi Finquita coffee farm was started at 2016, while Ratibor and Tessie Hartmann decide to purchase this potential coffee farm to produce the best coffee in this atypical location from they used to work.
This Maragogipe lot underwent a controlled natural fermentation inside a glass ballons, similar to traditional wine demijohns. The use of glass allows a clean and inert fermentation chamber, preventing external contamination and preserving the integrity of the microbial activity from the fruit itself. Inside the balloon, the cherries, ferment in their own mucilage, creating a semi-anaerobic environment where pressure and carbon dioxide slowly build, intensifying the interaction between sugars, yeasts, and micro-organisms.
This controlled fermentation enhances the inherent characteristics of the variety known for its large beans and elegant cup profile while amplifying fruit complexity and aromatic intensity. The process lasts several days, monitored carefully to avoid over- fermentation.
The result is a cup profile with refined fruit expression, layered sweetness, and a silky structure, while maintaining the distinctive elegance typical.
