THE BOTANY
2 year old 100% Gesha, grown in nutrient rich volcanic soil.
THE PROCESS
- Cherries are received in the “Tolva” (reception tank)
- The cherries are floated and the impurities are removed, as well as the over or under ripe cherries.
- The coffee is pulped to remove the skin.
- Coffee with the mucilage is fermented for 24hrs Fermentation process . The time can change depending on environmental factors (hotter days require lower fermentation time and reverse)
- The coffee is then moved to the washing channels and the deteriorated mucilage is removed from the parchment, using channels enables them to also grade the coffee based on density of the beans.
- The coffee parchment then is moved to parabolic driers until target moisture is reached (10.5%), before being stored in burlap bags ready to be brought to Siruma warehouse for final physical and quality assessment.
