LALCAFÉ CIMA™
LALCAFÉ CIMA™ is a premium Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast selected for controlled coffee fermentation during post‑harvest processing of Specialty Arabica and Fine Robusta coffees. Suitable for both natural and pulped processes, it ensures consistent fermentation performance across diverse production conditions.
Thanks to its specific metabolism, LALCAFÉ CIMA™ enhances fresh, fruity, and citrus flavour expression while modulating acidity for improved balance and clarity in the cup. Its ability to perform at temperatures as low as 10 °C makes it particularly well-suited for high-altitude and cooler fermentation environments.
Designed to improve aromatic precision and reduce astringency, LALCAFÉ CIMA™ reveals varietal potential by enhancing fruit and citrus notes while minimising green character and bitterness. It is an ideal solution for producers seeking clean, vibrant, and well-balanced specialty coffee profiles.
Description
LALCAFÉ CIMA™ is a Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast selected for its specific benefits in post-harvest processing of Specialty Arabica and Fine Robusta coffee varieties. It can be used in both natural and pulped processes.
With its specific metabolism to express fresh and fruity notes, LALCAFÉ CIMA™ will modulate the acidity of your coffee.
