Extended Nitrogen Maceration is a process we have never offered before and are excited to share with you! The Patre family have been caring for their land for nearly a century, and Mr. Ashok is very into some amazing tech-aided processing. After floating the coffee cherries, they were placed in a stainless steel fermentation tank, purged of oxygen using nitrogen, and allowed to ferment under pressure for 72 hours. Following fermentation, the cherries were moved to raised beds to dry for 28 days.
