The quality of our coffee
The unique taste and flavor is a result of our tireless monitoring of the growing and processing processes. Our coffee trees are sustainably and eco-friendly grown, mulched and pruned each season with our members who selectively harvest the ripened cherries and supply them to CWS. From there any defected cherries are removed through careful hand picking selection and floating process. High quality cherries are processed, cleaned and dried. And this is their second Cup of Excellence competition and awarded in 2014 and this year 2015
