Natural Processing:
The cherries are taken to the patio on raised beds with all the pulp. Depending on the fermentation required for the process, lots are unstirred for a period and spread thicker or thinner while drying. The coffee is stirred daily between 8am and 2pm and then covered with plastic overnight. The drying process takes between 12 and 16 days, depending on the weather.
