1. Selective Harvesting: Cherries are picked at their ripest stage, ensuring a 20 Brix grade sugar level for optimal sweetness.
2. First Fermentation: Whole cherries are placed in a open tank for 12 hours, allowing initial fermentation to develop nuanced flavors.
3. Pulping & Second Fermentation: The cherries are pulped without water and transferred to an open tank, where they ferment without water for 48 hours inside the fridge room at a controlled temperature of 16 Celsius degrees.
4. Final Wash & Drying: Once the fermentation is complete, the coffee is washed again and carefully dried in raised beds for approximately 25 days, ensuring a controlled temperature below 35°C to achieve a 10-11% moisture content.
Cherries are picked ripe, pulped the same day and fermented in tanks until the mucilage breaks down, then washed clean with fresh water. The parchment dries slowly — on raised beds or patios — to 10–11% moisture before it rests and is milled for export.
A washed coffee shows the variety and the farm with nothing in the way: clean, bright and precise in the cup.
