THE PRODUCER
POMA's Coffee Research Station was established eight years ago in a climate-controlled greenhouse in Fyn, Denmark. Inside it, environmental factors are manipulated using algorithms that mimic plant processes, letting the team study how coffee trees react to climate change while keeping a stable environment for investigating the impact of farming practices.

THE PROCESS
The cherries first spent 48 hours in cold storage at 8°C. This gentle chilling preserves and intensifies the coffee's aromas without inducing fermentation, safeguarding its natural taste profile. The cherries were then depulped, thoroughly washed, and dried at low temperatures in a pressurised, rotating tumble dryer, an even drying that gives a clean, crisp finished product.

The 48-hour cold rest at 8°C, with no fermentation, is the defining step. It's what intensifies the delicate aromatics and keeps the cup clean.

THE CUP
Delicate and aromatic: orange blossom and dried apricot lead, in a refined balance between floral bitterness and fruity sweetness.
