What is anaerobic fermentation?
All coffee undergoes some fermentation, but most happens in open-air, oxygen-rich settings. Anaerobic fermented coffee is kept in a pressurized, oxygen-free container. Anaerobic coffees are either Natural (full cherry fermented) or Honey (outer skin of cherry removed, mucilage retained).
