Coffee cherries are sourced both from their own farms and long-term partner smallholders, forming a stable, high-quality production ecosystem. About process: Anaerobic honey, After harvest, the fresh cherries undergo flotation and grading. They are then depulped and fermented precisely for approximately 18 hours in fermentation tanks. Next, the beans are transferred to raised African drying beds and slowly dried in shaded conditions for 13–15 days to preserve their delicate, multi-layered flavor profile. After processing, small-screen beans (Screen 11 & 12) are sorted and graded separately to ensure a cleaner, more balanced overall flavor.
