Producer

For this natural processed coffee, time under the sun is affected by the altitude. Farmers drying their cherries at a beneficio around 1000masl find it will take 10 to 12 days for the coffee to be ready; those with higher altitude facilities can expect an extra 5 days for the correct drying to be reached. For this lot then, cherries picked between 22-26 Brix are washed, then dried on the patio for 4 days without any turning or moving. Following this they are moved 6 – 8 times each day for another 4 days or so, before final drying to required moisture levels.
