#0032 PROTOKOL TOJA

At Arkib, we’re passionate about uncovering the essence of coffee quality. Since 2021, we’ve been deeply involved in farm practices and processing methods, leading us to collaborate with a small producer to create our custom Protokol series. Each coffee in this collection is crafted using unique processes designed by Arkib, capturing the distinctiveness of the method while preserving the origin’s signature taste.

Batch #0032, named Toja, features a processing method with 300 hours of anoxic fermentation. This is our third variation of hot-cold fermentation, focusing on cold fermentation to explore the coffee's potential. In this submerged fermentation process, the cherries are placed underwater to eliminate oxygen, allowing for a lower fermentation temperature. This cold water slows down fermentation, enhancing the flavor depth of the coffee.

We are always exploring new methods to enhance the quality of coffee from our producers. By taking into account their capabilities and facilities, we seek cost-effective ways to conduct experimental coffee processes. The latest Toja lot has yielded excellent results from cold fermentation, producing a clean, natural aroma reminiscent of pink bubblegum and soursop. Its flavor profile features complex citrus notes like raspberry sorbet and sparkling cherries, gradually transitioning to sweet tropical fruits like watermelon. The cold fermentation also enhances a rare fine body quality akin to pine nuts, elevating the overall quality of Subarda Coffee. We’re excited that Toja has unlocked a new dimension of coffee flavor.
