Mad Heads for DIU collaboration. Buying this coffee makes a direct contribution to the "Timur Special Unit" of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine. About the farmer and farm Elkin Guzman grows coffee on his 31-hectare farm, Finca El Mirador. Thanks to sufficient altitude and fertile soils, the Huila region is exceptionally well suited to growing high-quality coffee. This lot uses the Tabi variety, an arabica cultivar descended from Typica, Bourbon, and Timor. Processing: experimental lactic fermentation Only the ripest cherries are hand-picked and sorted. The coffee goes into fermentation tanks in an anaerobic environment for 60 hours. It moves to a larger tank next for another 60 hours of intensified oxygenation, with small amounts of 35–40°C water added throughout. To stop the process, the cherries are washed with cold water for 8 hours. Finally, the coffee is sun-dried for 18–24 days.
