Nicaragua Placeres Cold Fermentation Anaerobic Natural

A wild and weird coffee but shockingly clear as opposed to literally every other anaerobic coffee you'll run into. This may not be your speed as some people like the weird overly funky coffee, but don't let this one slip by. It showcases a highlighting on two things: the process and processing. Cold fermentation slows down the anaerobic microbes so it doesn't get and lets just be real here - toxic. It allows for a more juicy and refined profile similar to a rice wine without much sugar. The processing is the next step and that's the Mierisch adherence to quality. You wont taste much outside of the things i've mentioned as they're concise and I guess to get rhymes here: precise. You tend to get what you get and there's something to that. 

I like this coffee - A LOT but because of what it's not and how different it is. They're the only ones doing cold fermentation.

The Nicaragua Placeres Cold Fermentation Anaerobic Natural, sourced from the renowned Mierisch family, represents a sophisticated approach to post-harvest processing. By utilizing an anaerobic natural method, the producers create a controlled environment that significantly alters the bean's chemical composition during fermentation. While traditional natural-processed coffees often exhibit heavy fruit profiles, anaerobic techniques can introduce complex, unconventional characteristics, such as the distinct rice wine notes identified by Royal Mile Coffee.

Understanding these nuances requires a look at how oxygen deprivation influences the final cup. For those interested in the technical side of production, our processing methods explainer details how these specific environmental variables impact flavor development. As you explore the unique profile of this Nicaraguan lot, you may find it helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better categorize the fermented, savory qualities that define this particular release. This coffee serves as a compelling example of how modern processing innovation continues to expand the boundaries of traditional flavor expectations.
