By incorporating these exceptional varieties, our blend is continually evolving, ensuring that we bring you the finest and most diverse flavors available.
The selected cherries are depulped and the cherry is left with its honey. Then the coffee cherries undergo a shade drying process to preserve the nectar within and achieve the perfect level of moisture.
HOW IT'S MADE
We take care in every step of the coffee production process
The Green Coffee Cultivation Process
Soil Preparation & Grow Bag Filling
Seed Selection
The trees with the healthiest and most vibrant coffee cherries are marked and the cherries are handpicked and cut at their optimal ripeness.
Seed Depulping & Seed Shade Drying
The soil mixture prepared with a mixture of soil, vermicompost, and sand. The growing bags are filled with the mixture.
Seedling Planting in Grow Bags
One seed is placed in each grow bag.
Furrows & Bag Alignment
Furrows are carefully made to align the grow bags to plant the seeds.
5-6 Month Seedling Growth
The seedlings are left to grow from 5-6 months until they are ready to be transplanted.
Seedling Transplanting
The seedlings are prepared for cultivation, the growing bags are removed, and the seedlings are planted in the holes.
Pit Preparation
Flowering Process
Coffee plant goes through different stages until it turns red around the 32nd week, which indicates its optimal maturity.
The Green Coffee Wet & Dry Milling Process
The harvested cherries are transported to the processing area in labeled sacks with details such as the individual or group that harvested the coffee, the tree it came from, and the quantity picked on that particular day.
The cherries then enter the repassing pulper, the one that removes the husk from the beans that were not depulped in the initial pulping process.
The cherries enter the washing tanks and are poured into channels to the pulper machines to remove the soft fruit residue, including skin and pulp, and some of the mucilage from the cherries.
The cherries are washed and passed through the channels to be dried in the patios.
The coffee is then moved to patios for sun drying. Each batch is assigned a number, indicating the start of the drying process and linking it to its lot number.
The coffee beans are moved to the tables selected and graded into their categories and stored in sacks, where they are kept in optimal conditions until they are ready for export.
After hulling, the coffee goes through the Oliver, where it is sorted into three categories: first-grade coffee (the best beans), second-grade coffee (smaller beans), third-grade coffee (lower quality beans).
The cherries undergo a 24-hour anaerobic fermentation process, during which the mucilage or honey-like substance that covers the coffee cherries is removed.
Once dried to the optimal moisture content of 12-13%, the coffee undergoes hulling to remove the parchment layer and the green coffee beans are extracted.
