Description Process
After being hand-picked, ripe red coffee cherries are dried for 18-21 days on a raised bed made of bamboo mats. To ensure even drying, the cherries are turned six times a day. After eight days,when the cherry has lost most of its moisture, farmers start covering the cherries with nylon mesh and plastic at night to prevent the dried cherry from absorbing moisture. The moisture level of the beans is monitored from the 15th day, and the cherries are removed from the bed when the beans reach a moisture level of 9.5% to 10.5%. The quality of a coffee lot is influenced by the natural processing technique, as well as the complex interactions between soil, rainfall distribution,temperature, shade, and the genetic makeup of the varieties.
