Originally developed as a winemaking technique, we've found carbonic maceration coffee fermentation emphasizes juiciness (from malic acidity) and fruit notes. After years of experimentation, Gold Mountain in Nicaragua has perfected this process with many varieties of coffee. The idea behind this lot is to have a dramatically-fruity, juicy and sweet coffee that can be economically accessible for roasters' customers while still benefiting farmers in a big way. This lot will change people's perspectives of the taste of coffee while changing lives in Nicaragua.
