Coffee processing system

Coffee picking only occurs at peak maturation. The beans are picked by hand over cloths to avoid contact with the ground.

After being picked, the natural coffee is separated and spread on patios for drying. It dries slowly under the sun until reaching 11% humidity. After drying, the coffee is conditioned in wooden rest boxes.
