Processing begins at the cherry, where only fully ripe, red fruit is
selected and floated to remove any low-density outliers. The
cherries then ferment whole in sealed bags for 48 hours, turned
every 12 hours. After depulping, the beans ferment again under the
same conditions before being thoroughly washed in the washing
tanks. From there, the beans are placed on raised drying beds and
raked and turned every eight hours for a minimum of 10 days, or
until humidity reaches between 9.5% and 11%. Dried, unpeeled
beans are then stored in 45-kilo GrainPro bags in a climate
controlled environment held at 16°C to 18°C and 48% to 52%
relative humidity.

Use for pour over or french press. Not as an espresso or cold brew.
