PROCESSES

Washed

For this process, the coffee cherry is required to go through the wet mill. With this process, the coffee bean is separated from its shell and later is fermented in tanks of water, until the mucilage completely gets off.

Honey

In this process the coffee is only pulped in water. The mucilage remains and the coffee bean is dried in the sun on stretchers or African beds. This process is a combination between the washed and natural process.

Natural

The process in which the coffee cherry is completely dried without previously removing any of its layers. The coffee cherries are placed on stretchers or African beds in the sun.
