Processing Method:

Washed (Fully Washed Process)

1. Harvesting: Only fully ripe coffee cherries are selectively handpicked to ensure quality and consistency.
2. Pulping: The outer fruit is mechanically removed, leaving the beans covered in a thin mucilage layer.
3. Fermentation: The beans undergo a controlled fermentation process to break down the mucilage, enhancing clarity and sweetness.
4. Washing: After fermentation, the beans are thoroughly washed to remove all remaining mucilage.
5. Drying: The cleaned beans are spread out on raised beds or patios and dried under the sun, ensuring even moisture reduction.
6. Milling & Sorting: Once dried, the beans are hulled to remove the parchment layer and meticulously sorted for uniformity.

The washed process results in a clean, crisp cup with bright acidity and a well-defined flavor profile.
