Tangerine · Milk chocolate · Marzipan
A Qima-processed lot that adds butter and banana to the fermentation. After a thermal shock and 10–12 hours of oxidation, the coffee ferments in a nitrogen-flushed bioreactor with yeast, butter and bananas. It tastes closer to dessert than coffee.
Butterscotch · Pineapple · Fudge
Saints' second Qima-processed lot this year. Ripe cherries get a thermal shock and cool-down to 10°C, are depulped and oxidised for 10–12 hours, then ferment in a sealed bioreactor with yeast and ripe watermelon, monitored for temperature, pH and Brix. Fresh, fruity and fun.
