After being disinfected with treated water, the cherries are sorted using a water density method to ensure optimal quality. The pulp is then removed. The low caf process starts by immersing the coffee beans in hot water at 80°C to open the pores and prepare them for caffeine extraction. A natural solvent derived from coffee pulp is introduced to the water, and this process is repeated three times to remove approximately 95% of the caffeine while preserving the coffee’s inherent flavors.

The sourdough, which acts as a starter culture similar to traditional sourdough, is collected from pr
