About The Process
This unique coffee starts with the classic Indonesian Wet-Hulled method, known for producing a bold body and complex, earthy tones. In a contemporary twist, the pulped cherries then undergo a controlled fermentation with added lychee extract. This Co-Fermentation stage encourages specific microbial activity, infusing the beans with novel, fruity flavor compounds. The result is an exotic, juicy, and layered profile that marries traditional character with vibrant, modern complexity.

How to Brew the Perfect Cup of Coffee Beans
For a truly exceptional cup, use high-quality beans and the right brewing method. Follow these steps for the best results:
1. Measure Your Coffee
For espresso, use 18-20g of coffee. For manual brewing (like pour-over), use 15g of coffee.
2. Choose Your Brew Method
If making espresso, use an espresso machine. For manual brewing, use a pour-over setup or any similar method.
3. Heat Your Water
For espresso, heat your water to the right pressure, and for manual brewing, bring water to 88°-92°C (190°-198°F).
4. Brew Your Coffee
For espresso, aim for a 36-38g yield with a 28-30 second extraction time. For manual brewing, use a 1:15 coffee-to-water ratio. Pour water gradually, allowing the coffee to bloom, then finish brewing.
5. Enjoy Your Coffee
Once brewed, take a moment to savor the aromas and flavors. Espresso will have a bright, syrupy finish with vibrant raspberry and strawberry notes. Manual brew will have floral notes with a tea-like body, red berries, and a honeyed sweetness.
