Process

This is a washed coffee – the ripe cherries are picked and sorted, defect cherries as well as unripe overripe cherries are removed. The cherries are then pulped to remove the bulk of the fruit flesh, then the coffee is soaked to remove the rest of the fruit. The clean coffee is then dried on raised beds
