Processing Method:

Illumination undergoes a washed carbonic maceration process, which includes:

1. Selective Harvesting: Only the ripest Geisha cherries, registering 21-24 Brix, are handpicked to ensure peak sweetness and optimal flavor development.

2. Pulping & Carbonic Maceration: The cherries are pulped before fermentation, removing the outer fruit while keeping the mucilage intact. The beans are then placed in sealed stainless steel tanks infused with carbon dioxide (CO₂), creating an anaerobic environment that enhances aromatic complexity and refines acidity.

3. Washing & Drying: After fermentation, the beans are fully washed to remove any remaining mucilage, then carefully dried under controlled conditions to preserve their delicate characteristics.
