What is Anaerobic Honey Process?
The Honey processing method started in Costa Rica but has since spread to other countries across the globe. In this process some or all of the mucilage of the coffee cherry (aka coffee honey) that coats the parchment is left on during the drying stage, giving the coffee a sweeter profile than washed coffees.
The Anaerobic process begins with selection of handpicked mature coffee cherries that have a Brix degree (a measurement of sugar content) near 26. Selecting the cherries when they are at their ripest ensures a high sugar content, which helps feed the anaerobic process.
At the mill, the coffee is depulped and put in air-tight, stainless-steel tanks with the mucilage left on. The absence of oxygen stimulates an anaerobic fermentation process. The process develops in a unique series of acids such as lactic and malic, which results in a very complex flavor.

MOUNTAIN HARVEST
Located at the base of Mount Elgon, Sironko Station collects coffee cherry from some of the mountain’s most isolated communities. At this centralized wet mill facility, Mountain Harvest has created a hub of innovation and research. Much of the coffee research that affects worldwide producer groups is done solely within the Latin American context. The translation of methodology does not always apply to the Ugandan context. Mountain Harvest’s lab provides an opportunity for the youthful coffee-curious of Uganda to conduct and analyze research necessary for good decision-making on the ground. This Anaerobic Honey process coffee is a shining example of what can be achieved through proper growing, harvesting, and innovative processing.
