Processing system of the coffee beans The harvest is done by hand, in a selective way, with all the necessary care for the coffee beans to remain in a perfect conservation. The coffee is transported to the area of the farm where we can find the machinery in which the coffee is pulped and after is spread on the patios in slim layers that are raked about 20 times a day, until it reaches 11% of humidity, when it can be taken to the wood storehouses, in pergaminos. There, the coffee rests for about 60 days. After this, it is processed and kept in the COCARIVE warehouses for sale.
