After farmers hand-pick the cherries and transport them to a processing mill, they undergo meticulous sorting to remove overripe, under ripe, or damaged cherries, ensuring the highest possible quality. The cherries are then processed anaerobically for 7-10 days at cold temperatures and then dried in the shade on raised beds for 15 to 20 days until reaching a moisture content of 11%. The coffee is then sorted a final time for quality and stored for export.
