The pH Clarity Washed process is an innovative approach to washed coffee fermentation, leveraging precise pH control to optimize flavor clarity and consistency. Developed through the pH Clarity Project, this method emphasizes scientific monitoring of microbial activity and enzymatic reactions, ensuring that the fermentation process unfolds under ideal conditions for flavor development.

By continuously tracking and adjusting pH levels, this process enhances the formation of desirable organic acids while preventing excessive fermentation, resulting in a clean, vibrant, and structured cup profile. This method ensures that the Gesha variety’s bright acidity, floral complexity, and refined sweetness are fully expressed.

During fermentation, sensors monitor pH fluctuations, guiding the process to favor beneficial microbial activity while suppressing unwanted elements. This approach leads to enhanced clarity, a well-balanced acidity, and a pristine sweetness, as seen in this Gesha’s stone fruit, citrus, and floral notes.

This meticulous control results in a coffee with extraordinary transparency and depth, elevating the potential of high-quality Colombian coffees while setting a new standard for washed processing techniques.
