However, as the coffee price continued to decline in 2016 and his father fell seriously ill, he decided to bring the family farm up to speed together with his brother.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInitially, their coffees scored between 80-83 points on the cupping scale, despite elaborate processes and preparations. Wilder started to examine soil samples and use targeted nutrients and fertilizers to neutralize the pH value, thereby increasing the availability of nutrients for the coffee trees. He refers to this as precision agriculture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE PROCESSING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a foundation, Wilder Lazo has focused on building exceptionally nutrient rich soil. Coffee cherries are harvested only when fully ripe and then washed in water tanks to remove impurities and float the beans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere comes the trick. Wilder loves to play with processing techniques and found that if he chills the fermentation tanks in spring water that is around 16 °C, he can extend the fermentation, creating a big body without booziness! This lot was fermented for 60 hours in blue tanks at constant temperature before being dried for 18 days in the Marquesina. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe anaerobic fermentation of this coffee emphasizes the “true coffee character”, as most microorganisms work much slower compared to aerobic \"fermentation\" (actually more accurately referred to as “oxidation”, since fermentation, by definition, is an anaerobic process). In coffee processing though, everything that happens “between picking and drying” is mistakenly referred to as fermentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe got this coffee super fresh, cupped it, and found that we needed to hold the development time and end temperature super short and low to avoid creating any spiciness, due to its more fragile bean structure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Steady State","offers":[{"title":"2 pound bag","offer_id":53839896150330,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1566\/6489\/files\/SS_2lbLaDinastiaGeishaNatural_LabeledProductImage_08.04.2026_3c1b07a7-1d45-41b8-964f-7044eb1fb0ad.jpg?v=1785884720","url":"https:\/\/www.steadystateroasting.com\/products\/la-dinastia-geisha-natural-two-pound-bag","provider":"Steady State","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
