Just like a fine w**e, coffee is fermented.
Fermentation can happen in traditionally in tanks or anaerobically (like our Sidama Supreme). Fermentation is a step in the coffee process where yeasts and bacteria break down the sticky layers of the coffee cherries.
Fermentation enhances flavours and develops complex notes, especially in anaerobic fermentation where it happens more slowly. Pre-digesting some of the harder to break down starches during fermentation can also make the coffee easier on the stomach.
