Sugar Mountain
Sugar Mountain is our dedicated home to coffees that use experimental and innovative processing methods. Rather than simply being washed or natural, producers and washing stations are using new techniques. For example, low oxygen or anaerobic, in which fresh cherries ferment in sealed barrels. By using a one-way valve, oxygen exits and cultivates an environment rich in yeast and sugar interactions. The resulting cups are often wildly tropical and will emphasize fruit-forward and deep funky notes. Sugar Mountain sometimes too features co-ferments, in which cherries are selectively mixed with other fruit or flavor elements, changing the sensory profile. Or it could be carbonic maceration! Or even lactic washed processing? These are the types of preparations that have you asking: what is this drink? And as Neil Young says in Sugar Mountain, "ain't it funny how you feel, when you're finding' out it's real?"
