Nicaragua Finca Aurora, Carbonic Maceration

Nicaragua Finca Aurora Carbonic Maceration RA

The most interesting thing is the method Carbonic Maceration. It originally comes from the winery (e.g. Beaujolais) and coffee work by fermenting whole coffee cherries in closed tanks filled with CO₂. Thanks to this, fermentation takes place differently than with classic washed or natural coffee – inside the cherries themselves.

RA-certified farms have at least 40% of their area covered by tree crowns, are characterized by significant species diversity (on average at least 12 native tree species per hectare) and have a system of natural vegetation buffer zones between agricultural land and water bodies. These farms also use organic fertilizers.
