Playing with fermentation techniques is always exciting. Many cocoa farmers look for modernized methods that can help them automatize the post-harvest process making less labour-intensive. However, improving classic practices can also help boost quality and complexity. This duo - Poshaki Kemito/Cheni - is a comparison of fermentation in trapezoidal rotated boxes vs classic cubic cascade-type wooden recipients, respectively. Poshaki Kemito has a strong character of turkish coffee and nuts with pomelo perfume whilst with some strong acidity and playful pink flower hints and the chocolate has a special beige color.
