What is the secret of your success?

The secret is in adequate harvesting; picking solo ripe beans, and adequate dry milling. At the same time the clean water during the washing process is important as well as the dry patch in African beds to avoid contact with the earth in order not to absorb different smells; the transportation to the dry mill without delays and, the last but not the least, the challenge that comes thanks to the good conditions of the nature that we have here.
