About the Process
During the harvest, after the cherries are carefully handpicked, they are delivered to our exporting partner wet mill in El Salvador, El Carmen, to be sorted. The cherries are then pulped the same day to remove the external fruit. Once clean, the coffee is sent to tanks to ferment for 6 – 8 hours, breaking down the remaining sticky mucilage. Next, the coffee is washed with clean water, removing any remaining mucilage or foreign matter. The coffee is dispersed on clay patios to dry in the open sun for 15 – 18 days, with constant movement to ensure an even drying is attained. When the moisture content of the coffee reaches 10.5%, it is bagged and rested for 30 days before being hulled and prepared for export.
