The facility is a 350 metric ton per season cherry processing facility, and a 2.8 ton per hour pulping machine. Following the pulping of freshly delivered cherry, the coffee is wet fermented and then the beans are sorted by density using water filled grading channels. The wet parchment is dried under cover for 24 hours before being moved to uncovered drying beds for an average of 15 days.

During that period the coffee is continually hand sorted by an army of brightly clothed women who are meticulous in their removal of defect beans.
