Introducing the new “mosto processed coffee”, a delightful fusion of innovation and flavor. The coffee undergoes an extensive 72-hour anaerobic fermentation in plastic tanks with lixiviates (from a Java fermented coffee), imparting an extra flavor kick. Our two-step drying process involves mechanical drying in a silo for 2 to 4 days at controlled temperatures to prevent over-fermentation, followed by 18 days of sun exposure. The beans then undergo a 30-day stabilization in GrainPro bags before the final milling.

What are lixiviates or mosto?

Lixiviates, or mosto, are by-products generated during the coffee fermentation process. These liquids contain microbial populations, including bacteria and yeasts. Utilizing lixiviates in the fermentation process helps reduce time and enhances the coffee, contributing to greater complexity and highlighting its flavors.

How do we get lixiviates?

Lixiviates are produced during the fermentation of coffee cherries, where the coffee undergoes dehydration, resulting in the generation of a liquid by-product. This by-product contains a higher concentration of microorganisms that develop flavors during fermentation.

How do we use lixiviates?

The liquid is collected at the end of the fermentation process and stored in a refrigerator at 3°C for up to 24 hours. To use it in other fermentation processes, we add water and sugar, allowing the mosto (lixiviates) to continue growing.
