Process

This coffee’s journey begins with a unique fermentation process. The cherries are picked and fermented whole for 62 hours in an oxygen-free environment (anaerobic fermentation). Then, the pulp is removed, and the beans undergo a second fermentation for 48 hours in tanks with exposure to air (aerobic fermentation). This step helps remove any remaining fruit residue (musilage) and defective beans through a washing process. Finally, the coffee beans are laid out to dry in the sunshine on canopies or patios for 10 to 15 days.
