Process Description:
Thermolic:
The Thermolic process utilizes heat to accelerate the breakdown of sugars and other compounds in the coffee mucilage. Using the sun or other means, freshly picked coffee cherries are gradually heated to reach the desired controlled fermentation temperature. The Thermolic process is usually conducted in a temperature range of 30 to 50 degrees Celsius in an oxygen-controlled environment.
Thermolic process coffees are rich in body and wild, often winey in flavor and laden with chocolate.
Folio:
Folio refers to an additional layer that can be added into different processing methods to increase the coffee's depth and complexity.
The signature element of Folio coffees is that non-traditional parts of the coffee plant (e.g., leaf, cherry, flower, etc.) are utilized in the process.
The flavors of Folio Coffees can be citric, tea-like to herbal, or laden with tropical fruit, depending on which components of the coffee plant are utilized in the process.
