In recent years, many processing plants have introduced various innovative processing methods. While 90+ processing methods were once novel, anaerobic processing, red wine processing, and now oak barrel processing have become increasingly common, significantly enriching the flavor profiles of coffee beans.

This FrontStreet Coffee fine washed brandy barrel fermented Lychee Lan begins with freshly picked coffee cherries that undergo fine washing, followed by low-temperature fermentation (approximately 15-20°C) in brandy oak barrels for 30-40 days. This process allows the raw coffee beans to absorb the barrel's flavors, after which they are shade-dried. The beans processed through brandy barrel fermentation exhibit gentle lychee and honey sweetness, combined with the alcoholic aroma of brandy and the scent of oak barrels.
