Process: The coffee cherries are harvested by hand and selected in tanks to separate those of higher quality and ripeness, furthermore this step ensures that the bacteria and enzymes on the surface of the peel are not aggressive the next time it is dried on raised beds. When drying the drupes, an opaque material is used that retains moisture. The process alternates open and closed phases. When the coffee is opened and distributed evenly, normal surface drying occurs. Also, periodically, the coffee is covered very well with material, as in a sleeping bag. This technique significantly increases fermentation and allows the high density of the grain to be maintained; the fruity and vinous notes.
