About process: After harvesting, coffee cherries are sorted by density and quality via flotation. The cherries then undergo washed processing to remove pulp and mucilage. After washing, the parchment coffee is moved to elevated African drying beds. The parchment is turned every 30 minutes to achieve even drying. The average drying duration ranges from 15 to 18 days, subject to weather conditions and humidity levels.
