What makes this one different.

The ferment starts the same way the others do: cherries in a barrel of water, submerged and cut off from air, their own microbes working the sugars. But for this one we blended bananas from the farm into the water first, and that steers the whole thing somewhere tropical. We roast it for espresso and get loads of fruit.
