Fermentation Project - collab with James Hoffmann

The Fermentation Project

Can Fermentation Turn One Coffee Into Four?

Taste four expressions of the same coffee in a global fermentation experiment.

The coffee at the center of the experiment

Variety

Approximately 85% Caturra, 15% H1, and a small amount of Bourbon

Farm and Producers

Finca San Miguel Urias, owned by Hector and Lilian Leal and operated under Rueda Farms

Location

Antigua Valley, between Ciudad Vieja and San Miguel Dueñas, Guatemala

Altitude

1,460–1,540 meters above sea level

One farm. One coffee lot. Four fermentation paths.

The Experiment

One coffee begins four journeys.

Coffee from a single Guatemalan lot was divided into four portions. The farm, harvest, varieties and origin remained the same. Each portion then followed a different processing path.

By tasting the four coffees together, you can explore how fermentation influences aroma, acidity, sweetness, body and flavor.

Coffee 01

The Reference

Mechanically demucilaged to minimize the extended fermentation stage and provide a reference point for the experiment.

Coffee 02

The Wild

Fermented using the microorganisms naturally present on the coffee and within its processing environment.

Coffee 03

The Bacteria

Inoculated with a selected Lactobacillus culture to explore how managed bacterial fermentation influences the cup.

Coffee 04

The Yeast

Inoculated with a selected Saccharomyces yeast culture to explore its influence on aroma, sweetness, body and complexity.

The Collaboration

Built through coffee, science and community.

James Hoffmann created the global tasting concept and brought participating roasters and coffee drinkers together.

Lucia Solis brought her expertise in microbiology and coffee fermentation to the project’s processing design.

Evoke Coffee Lab roasts the four coffees and transforms the experiment into a guided tasting experience.

Taste First. Reveal Later.

You complete the experiment.

Taste the four coded coffees side by side, record what you experience, choose your favorite and reveal the process behind each cup afterward.
