    Welcome to the Coffee Explorer Podcast. I'm Jennifer Stone, your host, and today we're delving deep into the world of coffee experimentation with a fascinating pair of coffee aficionados, Brian and myself. Join us as we uncover the captivating journey of Adrian and Nestor, who dared to push the boundaries with smaller batch fermentations before taking the leap into larger lots.  

    But what truly sets their process apart? It's the intriguing 12-hour cherry oxidation phase, followed by the meticulous application of anaerobic fermentation and careful control of oxygen flow, resulting in a brew that's nothing short of extraordinary.

    You'll also get a taste of the challenges we face in discerning the essence of coffee amidst its intricate processes, and the allure of the innovative anaerobic method. Prepare your palate for a flavor-packed adventure as we explore the vast diversity of Colombian coffee, from traditional to boldly adventurous profiles.

    Beyond the coffee cup, we'll discuss how coffee education aligns seamlessly with Relevant Coffee's mission to elevate the coffee experience. And guess what? We're here to answer your burning questions, so don't hesitate to reach out!

    In a more personal touch, I'll reveal details about my own coffee table, offering a glimpse into my life with pictures of my beloved dogs and those serene meditation candles that keep me grounded. And of course, we'll address the ever-important challenge of sourcing Nestor and Adrian's exceptional coffee, ensuring that it finds its way to coffee lovers like you.

    Stay tuned for an episode that's a sensory delight, a journey into the heart of coffee innovation, and a testament to the passion that fuels the coffee industry.
