About this coffee
Coffee is picked manually with a derriçadeira – a sort of mechanized rake that uses vibration to harvest ripe cherry. A tarp is spanned between coffee trees to capture the cherry as it falls and only ripe, red cherry is selected.
Once picked, cherry is laid on a concrete patio to sundry. Cherry is raked frequently to ensure even drying. Once the cherry has dried significantly, coffee is taken to mechanical dryers to finish drying evenly. Finally, cherry is rested in boxes for 15 days. In total, cherry takes about 30 days to dry.
