Rafael Amaya Lactic Natural (filter)

$32.00

Grown by Rafael Amaya at Finca LA Virgina. This coffee is harvested following strict ripeness criteria and exposed to a dry fermentation of 100 hours inside grain pro bags at 20° Celsius. In this environment, bacteria feeds from carbohydrates and sugars from the mucilage. This leads to a higher concentration of lactic acid. Afterwards, the coffee was dried on raised beds to the ideal moisture content.

What is a Lactic Natural coffee?

Lactic fermentation is a relatively new experimental method; the lactic acid generated from the anaerobic conditions produces more depth, complexity, and pronounced tropical fruit characteristics than coffees that are not anaerobically fermented.
