During drying, the coffee is kept entirely out of sunlight and repeatedly turned on raised beds, with low-temperature resting in sealed GrainPro bags, continuing until it reaches the target moisture. The entire process takes about 28 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brine-based lactic fermentation to around pH 4, followed by a sun-free 28-day slow dry, is the defining combination. It builds the yogurt-like lactic character alongside the blueberry and pineapple fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE CUP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLactic and fruit-forward: a creamy yogurt character leads, with blueberry and pineapple sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e🥛 Yogurt 🫐 Blueberry 🍍 Pineapple\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Terraform Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"Filter \/ 100g \/ October 13th","offer_id":59154195120502,"sku":"TFM-ALO-74158-NATURAL-5-FIL-100G-OCT13","price":18.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0529\/9152\/5021\/files\/ALO_Terraform_Lot_5_Lactic_Natural-cropped.png?v=1793185988","url":"https:\/\/sigmacoffee.co.uk\/de\/products\/terraform-coffee-roasters-alo-lot-5-lactic-natural-74158-ethiopia","provider":"Sigma Coffee UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
