Meticulous Processing for Superior Quality

After mechanical picking, the coffee cherries are carefully placed in water to float and remove any low-density or defective cherries. The selected cherries are then transported to barrels for a meticulous 72-hour fermentation process. Following fermentation, the cherries are spread out on raised beds to dry for 22 to 24 days until they reach the optimal moisture level.
