Fermentation Process:

The Anaerobic N26 coffee processing method begins by sorting fresh coffee cherries using a color sorter. The ripe cherries are then placed into sealed barrels, where they ferment at a controlled temperature for 26 days. After fermentation, the cherries are transferred to a temperature- and humidity-controlled greenhouse for drying.

Coffee Farm – MY LIBERICA:

MY LIBERICA owns 50 acres (20 hectares) of carefully grown coffee in Kulai, Johor. Due to the unique soil nutrients and conditions, all coffee trees come from the Liberica variety. To improve coffee quality and be environmentally responsible, we use coffee waste on our farm to produce organic fertilizer. Compared to other Liberica coffee farms, we grow, harvest, process and roast our coffee with a good understanding of the geography, which improves our unique coffee flavor. In order to stimulate production and improve the quality of coffee planting and harvesting, we also purchase coffee cherries from nearby coffee farmers to encourage farmers to produce high-quality coffee cherries by increasing the purchase price.

MY LIBERICA Coffee Processing Facility:

In 2014, MY LIBERICA invested in a state-of-the-art processing facility, becoming the first specialty coffee processing plant in Malaysia dedicated to the Liberica species. The facility is designed to improve coffee flavors and ensure safe consumption by using a variety of meticulous processing methods. These include the Honey Process, Natural Sun Dry Process, Fully Washed Process, and the Traditional Process, among others.

In 2020, we partnered with Sasa Sestic, the 2015 World Barista Champion, to develop a new processing method known as the Anaerobic Process. This method played a key role in helping Hugh Kelly—the 2020 Australian Barista Champion—achieve victory, and it also contributed to his success as the 2nd runner-up at the 2021 World Barista Championship.
