About the Process
At Las Fresas, harvest begins with the cherries being selectively handpicked, before being floated in cool clean water to remove any low density cherries, then cherries are fermented, first 48 hours in bags, after which the coffee is pulped to remove the exterior fruit. Water from a local spring is utilized for this process. Once clean, the coffee is fermented a second time for 72 hours to breakdown the sticky mucilage remaining. The coffee is then dried until the ideal moisture content is reached. Esperanza then delivers the coffee to Jaen, the headquarters in Alpes Andinos, to be hulled and prepared for export. This is about 3 hours journey.
