Production Processing
Pulped, single fermentation, grades in a washing channel, skin dried under shade with parchment hand sorting, and finally sundried on African beds.
The only well ripped cherries coffee is handpicked by the farmer on the tree. Cherries are floated before delivery to the washing station. Cherries are also
sorted for unripe and overripe by the farmer. At the washing station, the same process of sorting is done again by the farmer, before it is accepted.
The same day, the coffee is pulped by a 2 discs pulper machine and the output product which is parchment coffee is ferment by a single fermentation process
for 8 to 12 hours, depending on the external temperature. After that, the coffee is separated into 4 grades, based on density, in the grading channel. Finally,
the parchment coffee is soaked under clean water for about 10 to 12 hours.
Since 2018 Naturals are produced (about 100 green bags)
Drying:
The wet parchment coffee first of all sorted on shaded beds, then moved to be sun dried for 12 to 15 days, depending on the weather, on beds on hessian
cloths. All along the drying process, the coffee is moved. Drying tables are numbered and coffee is followed by a batch identification card. Coffee traceability
is ensured. Naturals are dried during 21 days in one layer.
The day by day micro-lots are separated and the samples will test by Ephrem Sebatigita. The highest scores, above 86 SCAA, will sold separately as specialties.
