SUMMARY:Four Fermentations. One Cupping - James Hoffmann 2026 Fermentation 
 Project
DESCRIPTION:How much of what we taste in coffee actually comes from ferment
 ation?\nThis is a pretty rare chance to find out.\nBoot Coffee will be host
 ing a side-by-side cupping of coffees from the 2026 Fermentation Project\, 
 created with James Hoffmann and fermentation specialist Lucía Solís.\nThe
  green coffees were released in a very limited set through Sweet Maria’s\
 , giving roasters a chance to work with all four versions of the same coffe
 e and taste the impact of fermentation directly.\nThe idea is simple:\nSame
  farm. Same harvest. Same coffee. Four different fermentation approaches.\n
 We’ll cup four versions side by side:\n\nMechanically demucilaged\, the c
 ontrol with essentially no fermentation\nWild fermentation\, using naturall
 y occurring microorganisms\nLactobacillus fermentation\, inoculated with la
 ctic acid bacteria\nSaccharomyces fermentation\, inoculated with yeast\n\nA
 ll four coffees come from the same lot from Finca San Miguel Urias in Antig
 ua\, Guatemala.\nThat means we get to do something you almost never get to 
 do in coffee: taste the effect of fermentation while keeping nearly everyth
 ing else the same.\nAt Boot Coffee\, we’ll roast all four coffees and cup
  them together.\nCan you identify the control?\nCan you actually taste what
  the yeast changed?\nHow different is wild fermentation?\nAnd just how much
  can fermentation change the same coffee?\nWe’ll taste first\, compare no
 tes\, talk through what is happening in each treatment\, and then reveal wh
 at is in each cup.\nThis is not a tasting of four unrelated coffees.\nIt is
  one coffee\, four fermentation paths\, and a chance to taste the differenc
 es for yourself.\nIf you are into coffee processing\, roasting\, sensory\, 
 fermentation\, or simply want to understand coffee on a deeper level\, this
  is a very special set to taste.
