This premium lot coffee has been processed using the washed method, using clean water from local river Lugita. For this lot, carefully hand-picked coffee cherries were delivered to Duwancho washing station and were meticulously sorted by hand and in a floatation tank prior to processing.

After sorting, the coffee cherries are then pulped within six to eight hours of harvesting, to remove the fruit and skin and graded by weight. After grading, the parchment-covered coffee is soaked in tanks of clean water to ferment for 48 hours. During this time, the water for fermentation is replaced twice, to ensure no spoilage occurs. The fresh water also adds to the temperature stability of the fermentation, keeping it an ambient 20.5 – 21.5 degrees centigrade.

The coffee is then dried on raised drying beds under a parabolic shade for up to 21 days, depending on weather conditions. Whilst drying, the coffee is carefully hand-sorted, and any defects are removed. It is also turned regularly to ensure that it dries evenly and consistently. Once the coffee is dry and has reached its desired humidity, it is rested in parchment until it is ready for milling and export.

RECOMMENDED Suitable for Filter brewing methods and French press.
