This project invites us to taste four expressions of a single harvest, each guided by a different controlled fermentation method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat’s in the Kit?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAt the heart of the kit is one coffee from Guatemala’s Finca San Miguel Urias, composed of Caturra, H1, and Bourbon varieties. The lot has been divided into four expressions, each processed through a different approach: mechanical demucilagination, wild fermentation, lactobacillus inoculation, and yeast inoculation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWe’ve added one more expression of our own — Alo Coffee’s award-winning River Flow Fermentation from Ethiopia. Here, anaerobic fermentation aided by the movement of running water, showing how a natural, physical element specific to the terroir uniquely influences a cup's character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eEach kit contains 5 coffees in 100g bags.
