Miguel has his masters in economics and science in coffee and his partner, Cristian, is a food science engineer with a masters in microbiology applied to agriculture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coffee uses his signature Xochimilco process; a multi-step controlled fermentation. The coffee first undergoes a whole-cherry anaerobic fermentation for 120 hours in coffee cherry pulp. While this fermentation is being completed, Miguel creates an inoculant substrate using select microbes and orange peels as a sugar source. The coffee is then depulped, placed in open air containers with water, and the microbes are added to the tanks for a second fermentation for 48 hours, then dried in controlled conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe resulting coffee is vibrant and complex, showcasing notes of fresh berries, delicate florals, and bright acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom Miguel:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Xochimilco Process is a two-stage controlled fermentation built around a living inoculant \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esubstrate and meticulous cherry selection a method that takes over seven days from harvest to \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edrying and leaves nothing to chance. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt begins at the sorting table.
