Brazil — Cerevi (Overripe Fermentation Series)

by Assembly

Overripe Fermentation Series  Introduction Brought to you by Assembly, Professor Lucas Louzada and Mió, the Overripe Fermentation Series is a collection that showcases three coffees that represent a milestone. Three coffees that showcase a step-change in the research of deliberate, purposeful post-harvest fermentation methods. Calibrated across 500 separate observations, data-driven protocols were implemented to reverse the impact of the warming climate and not just rescue these previously overripe lots, but drive sensorial experiences in the cup that demonstrate the quality and diversity in flavour of Mió’s crop. Cerevi Fermentation protocol — Yeast fermentation (72hrs) This lot was processed with a technique that utilises the power of baker's yeast to drive fermentation. The overripe cherries were placed in oxygen-free tanks and inoculated with the yeast to kick-start the process. Glucose and fructose were then added to further fuel the fermentation that lasted 72 hours before the ch
