Process Leaves a Fingerprint

Batch Theory Exchange

Why how matters as much as where

Origin gets most of the credit. Process does most of the work.

Fermentation length, drying method, handling decisions—these choices leave a signature long before roast ever enters the conversation. Ignore them, and you miss half the story.

Experimental Lot exists to make those fingerprints visible. It's not about novelty for its own sake. It's about showing cause and effect in the cup—sometimes clean, sometimes messy, always instructive.

Not every experiment will be your favorite. That's fine.

The point is understanding why it tastes the way it does.
