The Beer Semi-Washed process represents a masterclass in controlled fermentation. By aging the beans indoors on drying beds under stable temperatures, Andrés reintroduces the coffee pulp and natural leachate to the fermentation stage for four days. This meticulous technique yields an exceptionally sweet cup, harmonizing the vibrant red-fruit acidity with deep caramel undertones, while preserving the silky smoothness and refined body of a classic washed coffee.
