Processing Method

• Selection: Cherries with at least 90% ripeness and 20–24 Brix are handpicked.
• Fermentation: Coffee cherries are fermented in plastic barrels for 60–96 hours, then pulped and re-fermented with the same juice (mossto: rich in sugars and microorganisms, potentiating the fermentation process) for 80–120 hours in a sealed carbonic macerated environment.
• Drying: The coffee is washed and dried for 18–25 days.
