Beans are shade grown at an altitude of 1700 masl; meticulously hand picked and transported to Premium Estates central mill, which works closely with the local community ensuring fair wages and safe working conditions for its employees. Premium Estates experiments with different washing and fermentation techniques for each of its varietals in order to maximise its flavour potential. All washing is done via rainwater harvesting systems, ensuring that water used in processing is treated and recycled, minimising impacts on local water sources and environmental footprints. This particular lot, Tupi, is harvested through a manual selective process, pulped and fermented in concrete tanks for 72 hours, followed by slow mechanical drying.
