After finishing each harvest day, they bring the coffee down to the La Roca processing plant in Planadas, float it to remove some of the unripe or undernourished cherries, along with leaves and sticks. The cherries go straight into blue barrels with the lid on for 36 hours, get pulped and undergo another fermentation during 24 hours in mucilage before being fully washed. After that, the coffee is laid out on drying beds under marquesinas. It’s moved 2–3 times a day to dry evenly, and boom—milled at facility at Desarrolladores de Café. The result? A floral, fruity Chiroso with character.
