In this Archers-curated 120-hour anaerobic honey process, the perfectly ripe, hand-harvested, and carefully pre-cleaned cherries were re-sorted on raised beds to ensure uniformity of the ripeness level (visually indicated by color) before they were de-pulped (i.e. skin removed) and then sealed in 50-60 KG plastic barrels with lids having a one-way valve. This was done to aid in maintaining an oxygen-free fermentation phase throughout the pre-determined 120-hour period. After fermentation, the barrels were emptied onto the raised beds, as the de-pulped cherries were evenly spread out in very thin layers, allowing the fermentation juices to sufficiently drain off of them. The specific instruction to maintain very thinly layered cherries throughout the sun-drying phase was deliberate, to avoid extraneous microbial activity as the coffees had already undergone the necessary fermentation in the barrels prior. The target moisture level was achieved after 14 to 18 days.<br /> As a result of this process, this cup expresses heightened florality and honeyed sweetness, with a transparent, lively, and refreshing character.
