The Process

How this coffee was produced

This washed coffee is processed in small, daily batches over the course of the week.

Harvesting and Processing

Only ripe cherries are harvested and depulped immidiately after florating for a second selection

Stabilization

It is dried in sun bed driers for 2 to 3 weeks
