A super extended fermentation from the Café Solo Collective community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoffee fermentation is not new to Africa. It's not new to African peoples. It's not new to indigenous peoples. It's not new to our lineage, our heritage. In fact, coffee has always been a fermented food.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExtended fermentation is often credited as an innovation in the market. One of the things we learned during the Barista Exchange from Beamlak was that the Gurage people found out 500 years ago that they preferred the taste of it, innovated it, and were punished at export for it as a defect. Now the market has adopted what the origin already knew, 500 years late, and we're still missing the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe point isn't that we shouldn't celebrate innovation. It's that too often, because of our own preferences, lack of curiosity and blinders, aka too much sugar and cream, we miss out on the innovation and the innovators of it. We block our own opportunities for joy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis coffee is in honor and celebration of that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt comes from one of the Café Solo Collective community projects we were able to meet. It's outside of our usual project, but we definitely wanted to share it.
