The philosophy is entirely holistic - the extraction of quality doesn't begin in the post-harvest process, it begins in the plant itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe name “Hachi” derives from the Japanese word for eight, symbolising infinity - an emblem of the boundless possibilities emergent when cultivation and processing are informed by scientific rigour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpanning five farms across Colombia and Panama, a stream of extraordinary coffees produced by the project has built Hachi a reputation for truly unique flavour profiles and remarkable complexity, and we're delighted to have two of their headline Geisha lots in our catalogue - the \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e Hachi Saikō Geisha you see here, and the Hachi Kibō Geisha Low-Caf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"TypographyPresentation TypographyPresentation--medium RichText3-paragraph--withVSpacingNormal RichText3-paragraph HighlightSol HighlightSol--buildingBlock\"\u003eProcess\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"TypographyPresentation TypographyPresentation--medium RichText3-paragraph--withVSpacingNormal RichText3-paragraph HighlightSol HighlightSol--buildingBlock\"\u003eThe Hachi Inverted Process reverses traditional fermentation by starting with whole-cherry fermentation in a tailored liquid culture before de-pulping and washing. Unlike conventional methods, where fermentation happens after the fruit is removed, this approach allows the microorganisms to work with the full complexity of the cherry from the outset - driving deeper flavour development and more control over the final profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"TypographyPresentation TypographyPresentation--medium RichText3-paragraph--withVSpacingNormal RichText3-paragraph HighlightSol HighlightSol--buildingBlock\"\u003eThe coffee cherries' skin and mucilage are preserved and they ferment for 24 hours in a solution enriched with enzymes and selected yeasts, enhancing specific flavour attributes. During this process the intact cherry acts as a barrier, allowing gradual enzymatic infusion. This results in a stable, yeast-driven fermentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"TypographyPresentation TypographyPresentation--medium RichText3-paragraph--withVSpacingNormal RichText3-paragraph HighlightSol HighlightSol--buildingBlock\"\u003ePost-fermentation, cherries are de-pulped, washed, and dried in dehumidification chambers. The result is a cup with refined fruit clarity, clean acidity, and wholly integrated structure – a reflection of Hachi’s precision-led, non-intrusive approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"TypographyPresentation TypographyPresentation--medium RichText3-paragraph--withVSpacingNormal RichText3-paragraph HighlightSol HighlightSol--buildingBlock\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eRead our deep-dive on the Hachi Project here: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/assemblycoffee.live\/blogs\/insights\/the-hachi-project\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eThe Hachi Project: Engineering a Future for Coffee.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Assembly Coffee London","offers":[{"title":"50g \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":56007142965634,"sku":"HACHISAIKO50","price":26.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"100g \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":56007134118274,"sku":"HACHISAIKO100","price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"200g \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":56007089914242,"sku":"HACHISAIKO200","price":85.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0193\/3393\/9299\/files\/Colombia_Hachi_Saiko_Packshot_Hero_02.jpg?v=1776081040","url":"https:\/\/assemblycoffee.live\/products\/colombia-hachi-saiko-geisha","provider":"Assembly Coffee London","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
