The Janson X – 527 undergoes a hybrid washed process for 72 hours then is transferred to be dried in our collaboration X dryers. This lot is grown at the Hacienda farm at 1350 masl and is tasting like black currant, violet and white rose!

The Story:

We’re proud to bring you the culmination of years of work with the Janson family for another year running. The story of the Janson X project began in 2018 when Ben first met Kai at a trade show in Dubai. After some debate about what would be more important: threshing, or drying, a friendship was formed with a need to find out the answer.

Firstly, drying was on the table. What is good drying? Why do we have systems that have parameters like range of humidity and water activity, and why does quality differ even if these ranges are met. The Janson X project is simply about trying to quantify these differences in custom-built dehydrators that can dry coffee quickly under cooler conditions than average harvest norms.
