Tanzania – AB Lungwa (1lb Bag)

Description

The Cup: Fresh melon and dried chamomile with mellow fresh citrus flavors. Tart acidity and mild sugary sweetness.

The Lungwa AMCOS started by producing home-processed coffees. After seeing the benefit and the opportunity of switching to fully washed, they decided to buy a pulper and build fermentation tanks. In future, they want to acquire a bigger Ecopulper in order to process more cherries.

The farmers of Lungwa deliver the cherries and they are put through the pulper. After being pulped, the parchment is graded into P1, P2, P3, P lights and pods in the washing channels. The parchment is then fermented for 24-34 hours, before it gets washed in the washing channels. It is then soaked for 8 hours and dried on the tables for 7-10 days. Because of the hot climate, the fermenting and drying process do not require a long time.
