This unique processing includes harvesting 90% ripe cherries, floating to remove unwanted cherries, oxidation in food-grade plastic drums for 24 hours, dry pulping, and two fermentation stages. The coffee is then mechanically dried and stabilized. This coffee was a real standout on the cupping table. Recommended for filter brewing methods.

Expect notes of mango sorbet and tropical fruit, with a complex and memorable profile. We believe it will be a delightful experience for your palate

The Process

1. Harvesting: This is carried out ensuring a minimum of 90% ripe cherry.
2. Floating: This ensures the removal of green, overripe, and dry cherries.
3. Oxidation: This is done in food-grade plastic drums for 24 hours.
4. Pulping: The cherries are pulped dry.
5. Fermentation after pulping: For 36 hours in order to remove the mucilage. The coffee is then washed at temperatures of 45°C, creating a thermal shock.
6. Fermentation: For 72 hours at temperatures below 25°C with specific yeast.
7. Fermentation completion: After 72 hours, the coffee is washed at temperatures of 5°C to seal the fermentation.
8. Drying: After the 72 hours of fermentation, the coffee goes into drying, which is carried out mechanically for 48 hours at 38°C.
9. Stabilisation: This is done in grainpro-type bags.
