The parchment coffee was thoroughly washed without any fermentation, highlighting a clean, transparent flavour profile and a rich, rounded mouthfeel. The coffee then dried slowly under shade on raised African beds for 8-12 days, allowing even, controlled moisture reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSkipping fermentation entirely is the defining step — it's what produces the remarkable clarity behind this cup's white floral, orange, and muscat grape character, letting the variety's natural sweetness come through unobscured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE CUP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClean and transparent — delicate white florals lead, with vibrant orange and muscat grape notes through the middle, and a lingering longan sweetness on the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e🌼 White Flowers 🍊 Orange 🍇 Muscat Grape 🍈 Longan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Terraform Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"Filter \/ 100g \/ August 20th","offer_id":58680773247350,"sku":"TFM-ALO-COFFEE-74158-WASHED-FIL-100G-AUG20","price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0529\/9152\/5021\/files\/alo-aw33.png-cropped.png?v=1789115678","url":"https:\/\/sigmacoffee.co.uk\/products\/terraform-coffee-roasters-alo-zero-fermentation-washed-74158-ethiopia","provider":"Sigma Coffee UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
