All cherries are washed to eliminate impurities and then floated cherries are discarded. Cherries are then de-pulped and fermented for 30 hours until the mucilage separates from the parchment. Once this process is finished, coffee beans are washed and put out to dry on shaded drying beds for 16 days. Once coffee beans reach just under 11% moisture content approximately, they are sealed in GrainPro bags and polypropylene bags.”
