Wilton started to learn the fermentation technology used in various industries, including wine, beer and cheese. Once he had an understanding of how these products were processed, he started controlling certain variables in the processing of coffee, including the sugar content, PH level and fermentation duration.
There are three main factors that provide his coffee with a unique and exquisite taste: the fermentation process, the microorganisms used at each stage, and the
method of soaking the beans in hot and then cold water to seal the grain.
