HARVESTING
“At our farm, the coffee harvest season spans from June to January, marking our peak harvesting periods. During these months, our dedicated team meticulously handpicks the ripe coffee cherries from our trees.
This meticulous handpicking process is a time-honored tradition and a testament to our commitment to quality. Handpicking allows us to selectively harvest only the ripest cherries, ensuring the highest standards for our coffee beans.
WET PROCESSING METHOD
We employ a meticulous approach to coffee processing, utilizing the wet process method. This method involves carefully extracting the coffee seeds from the cherries, followed by fermentation and washing to deliver a refined and distinctive flavor profile.
The wet process is a key element in our commitment to quality, allowing us to control and enhance the flavor characteristics of our coffee. This method ensures that our beans maintain their inherent qualities, resulting in a consistently exceptional cup.
SUN DRYING
Following the careful extraction of coffee seeds through the wet process, we harness the power of natural sunlight to perfect the drying phase.
Sun drying, an age-old technique, allows our beans to absorb the gentle warmth and ambient flavors of our region, imparting a unique character to each batch. This natural process nurtures the beans to their ideal moisture content, enhancing their richness and ensuring a nuanced flavor profile.
