Another masterpiece from the Ratnagiri estate, cherries with a Brix (sugar) of 24.9 when harvested were put in the Bio fermenters with a mix of different Lab grown cultures. The tanks were then purged with carbon dioxide gas, and the coffee was fermented for 60 hours. At the end of the fermentation the temperature of the Bio fermenter was increased to 47 degrees centigrade for 12 minutes before rapidly cooling the fermenter to 7 degrees centigrade, thereby allowing the coffee to be subjected to a thermal shock. After removing the coffee, it was then dried slowly with constant stirring over the next 27 days
