Cherry is picked, sorted and depulped daily, and the the parchment is submerged in water with the addition of tartaric acid to help direct the fermentation process, which is halted when the pH reaches 4.0. The coffee ferments for 36-54 hours depending on the relative climate.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAfter fermentation is complete the coffee is washed clean, graded by density in a water channel, dried in the shade for 2 days, and then dried for another 10 days in alternating shade and direct sun. The result is a delicious microlot of coffee with dark chocolate and walnut sweetness and a concord grape, fruit-forward finish that brings a unique and satisfying balance to the cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFARM\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGaia Farm is a 620-hectare family-owned estate located in the Karatu district of Tanzania.
