About Process：Harvesting is done entirely by selective hand-picking under strict quality control. Daily harvested Geisha lots are processed on-site at the estate, ensuring each batch fully retains the pure terroir of its specific plot. Cherries from individual sectors or plots are processed separately without blending, and each lot is dried individually on designated beds across the estate. Drying is 100% natural sun drying carried out on African raised beds, with no mechanical dryers used. This specific lot underwent the Anaerobic Honey process, featuring a 5-day fermentation period and a 17-day drying time.
