{"title":"Experimental Fermentation Coffees","description":"\u003cp\u003eCoffee fermentation has opened up possibilities that didn't exist in conventional processing. By controlling temperature, humidity, and microbial activity during fermentation, producers can create flavor profiles that range from subtle complexity to bold intensity.

It's coffee at the edge of possibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese are coffees made by producers willing to experiment, to fail sometimes, and to push what coffee can taste like.
