Bursting with Strawberry, Grapefruit and very juicy
About this coffee:
Each day, carefully hand-picked coffee cherries were delivered to the wet mill to be meticulously hand-sorted prior to processing to remove unripe, overripe, or damaged fruit, in order to enhance the quality and sweetness of the cup. The coffee was then graded by weight and spread evenly on raised beds to dry in the sun. Initially, it was laid very thinly and turned regularly to ensure consistent drying and prevent over-fermentation. This was done very carefully to avoid damage to the fruit. After a few days, when the coffee had reached 25% humidity — this is called the “raisin stage” — the layers of coffee were gradually increased. Careful attention and control during this drying phase ensured the coffee was stable and that a clean and balanced cup profile was achieved. The coffee was turned constantly whilst drying to ensure that it dried evenly and consistently. At midday, the coffee was covered to protect it from full sun. It was also covered overnight to prevent damage from morning dew. Once the coffee reached the optimum moisture level (usually after 15–18 days), it was hulled and rested in bags in parchment until it is ready for export.
