Our First Anaerobic Fermentation Coffee is here!
Attention all sweet-toothed coffee lovers, this one is for you.
This brew is for all coffee fans craving those flavours from their favourite childhood sweetshop. Get ready to taste those nostalgic strawberry milkshakes with the richness of treacle and a dash of black wine gums created using anaerobic fermentation. Before we explain this coffee’s awesomeness, the first question must be, how did we name this roast? Well, Raves, Sadden and Wildcats is the what3words location for the farm in Kateshi, which grew these delicious coffee beans.
What is anaerobic fermentation?
Can coffee really have notes of treacle and wine gums? Thanks to anaerobic fermentation, it can! This sounds like a rather complicated process, but it is rather clever and straightforward. These beans will experience a unique fermentation process, leaving the coffee cherries in an airtight container for 72 hours. This causes the natural sugars in the cherries to break down and combine with the coffee beans, resulting in a sweet and fruity flavour. (we told you it wasn’t as confusing as it sounds!) Once removed from these containers, the beans are sun-dried on raised beds and sent to us to turn into our Two Chimps limited edition.
Why try it?
If you crave a bit of sweetness in your brew without adding any artificial flavours or sugar, this is the one for you! Say goodbye to the burnt bitter aftertaste of over-roasted supermarket instant blends, and hello to Two Chimps. The coffee’s sweet, fruity undertones are naturally created, with speciality arabica beans hand-picked to ensure peak ripeness. Combined with the anaerobic fermentation process, we create delicious layers of flavour highlighted in the roasting.
