Working alongside producers around the world, Lucia has helped redefine the way we think about fermentation, not as a shortcut to intensity, but as one of many creative decisions that shape a coffee’s final expression.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor this experiment, one coffee was processed four different ways using controlled fermentation methods.
