Heartwood Coffee As fourth-generation coffee producers, Yessica and Diego turned what started as a means for livelihood into a hub for innovation and creativity. For this lot, ripe cherries were floated, then left in open tanks for 24 hours. Thermal shock is a method that involves the alternating of hot and cold water during fermentation, stressing the beans in a controlled way. This allows for more sugar absorption and intensity of sweetness. |
