Laicheng Dong Farm farm is run by Mr Laicheng Dong in Baima. The mountain on which this coffee grows translates to ‘white horse’. Mr Dong returned to his home town in 2010 and has been growing coffee ever since. Local restrictions on waste water mean that he is focused on producing natural and honey process coffees.
Yunnan Coffee Traders (YCT) support the Mr Laicheng Dong over the past 3 years, helping with pruning techniques to improve plant growth and increase yield.
What is Anaerobic Natural Processing?
Anaerobic Natural is an experimental coffee processing method that combines oxygen-restricted fermentation with traditional Natural processing.
After harvesting, whole coffee cherries are fermented in sealed or oxygen-restricted conditions. This allows producers to influence the development of the coffee’s flavours through carefully controlled fermentation.
The cherries are then dried with the fruit still surrounding the beans, allowing further flavour development as they dry.
This combination can create coffees with intense fruit characteristics, greater sweetness and a fuller body than more traditionally processed coffees.
