Caturra Honey

With the Caturra Honey the coffee selected for this process goes through sieves to be selected by hand, removing underripe or overripe cherries, being very selective with the highest quality fruit to start the process.

The selected coffee is deposited in cherry in plastic barrels for a period of 96 to 120 hours aerobically before being pulped and dried for a period of 18 to 25 days.
