It's time for our second special process anaerobic natural from the Gasharu group, and this is the INTEGO 'resolution' lot. Similar in almost all parts of the post harvest processing to the amazing IREME micro-lot except for 12 hours of fermentation. IREME underwent 72hrs on Anaerobic fermentation and this INTEGO 60hrs. The difference in the cup is very subtle with similar cherry and winey notes for both but where the IREME was a little boozy, the INTEGO is a little more refined in character.

We've been speaking with the manager of Gasharu and they've given us a nice explanation of the reasoning behind the name and their philosophy. Here it is in Valentin's own words:

"INTEGO (Resolution) experimental coffee is the result of our curiosity to explore new methods of fermenting naturals to attain the best flavours and tastes. The final recipe of this coffee was selected after a series of trials in which we slowly refined the process that finally resulted in this flavour profile. We named it “Resolution” to celebrate our team's dedication and effort.

This coffee is beyond a simple cup of coffee because of the intentionally created fermentation medium that gives it a strong body and clear taste which we believe will provide a unique and memorable experience to coffee lovers. 

In addition to the unique taste, INTEGO (Resolution) coffee demonstrates our willingness to enter the European coffee market with the most genuine quality coffee and our culture of establishing “coffee harvest resolutions” to continue improving quality through innovative processing methods and promoting sustainable and environmentally friendly practices."
