About this coffee

After harvesting, the whole coffee cherries are placed in closed tanks with nitrogen, which replaces oxygen and allows better control of the cherry environment during this first stage of the fermentation process. This first operation, which lasts for about 50 hours, is carried out with careful control of the temperature and the pH value to avoid the development of undesirable aromas.

At the end of this first stage, the coffee is washed: the skin and the pulp of the fruit are completely removed. Next, the washed coffee is placed on the second level of a three-tiered drying bed system designed by Jamison Savage. This ensures gentle, even drying in the shade to prevent damage from direct sunlight or excessive heat. Once again, the temperature and humidity levels of the environment are controlled and maintained within well defined limits throughout the entire drying process.

When the coffee reaches a residual moisture content of 11% - after about 12 days - it is placed in bags and stored in a cool, stable temperature for several weeks. This resting period allows the moisture content of the coffee beans to equalize and the aromatic development to be completed. Finally, the parchment of the coffee is removed and the beans are sorted according to size, density and color before they are shipped.
