192 beans

Bold, boozy notes that read like ripe fruit taken right to the edge — vinous, winey and a little wild, the signature of expressive fermentation.

Fermented coffees carry a heady, alcoholic lift: boozy depth, a winey tang, and the syrupy intensity of fruit pushed past simply ripe. These flavours come from extended or anaerobic fermentation and many natural processes, where sugars develop complex, slightly funky character before drying. Drinkers seek fermented coffee for the drama — a loud, divisive, unmistakable cup that rewards anyone who likes their coffee to taste alive.
