About The Coffee
Riunggunung Estate (Frinsa Collective) spans 10 hectares, with 9 hectares dedicated to various common Java coffee varieties. This specific lot comes from the estate's highest elevation section, known for developing the most complex flavor profile. However, this area is also at risk: during extremely cold nights, frost can occur, posing a threat to production. Despite this challenge, the stress the plants endure is believed to enhance the coffee's flavor, adding to its allure.
Anaerobic Natural
Frinsa Collective's anaerobic natural processed coffee undergoes a meticulous four-week processing method. After harvesting, the cherries are meticulously washed and floated to remove any defective selections. The remaining cherries are then placed in airtight bags or containers, creating an anaerobic environment. Lactobacillus is added to encourage fermentation for three days. The coffee is then spread on raised beds and dried for 18-21 days until the seeds reach a moisture content of 10-11%. After drying, the coffee is hulled, sorted by density, size, and color, and then hand-sorted to remove any remaining defects.
It's important to highlight that this coffee has been intentionally processed using anaerobic fermentation. Anaerobically-fermented coffees typically exhibit intensified fruitiness, acidity, and body. The anaerobic fermentation process significantly influences the coffee's flavor profile and roasting it dark, will further highlight the cooked cranberry and caramelized sugar notes.
