This coffee comes from Brazil and Mió's overripes programme, where cherries that have begun to dry on the tree are specially processed rather than discarded. Around 50% of the harvest was overripe, then fermented in closed tanks for 72 hours using Saccharomyces cerevisiae—a yeast commonly associated with wine and beer—alongside added glucose and fructose as fermentation substrates. Under these controlled conditions, the cherries transform ripeness into complex flavour, challenging traditional Brazilian coffee profiles.
Founded in 2015 in Brixton, London, Assembly Coffee is a quality-focused roastery that pushes the boundaries of the coffee industry.They are housed in a 19th-century fire station and are committed to innovation, sustainability, and collaboration.
