This results in a more uniform coffee and cup profile. Coffee goes into a machine that vibrates, sending beans through different screens with different-sized holes and sorts the coffee based on size and density. Once a coffee has been processed, dried, and then milled, it goes to a sorter that separates the beans by specific characteristics, mainly size.

Once it reaches 11.5-12% moisture content, the coffee is brought to conditioning bins to rest until it goes to the dry mill. The coffee goes through sorting and density channels, which separates the lots, and then it is taken to raised beds to dry. It’s then soaked in water to ferment overnight slightly. After two days of dry fermentation, the coffee is washed with fresh water, removing the sticky mucilage attached to the beans that are loosened by bacteria during the fermentation. Next, the coffee is stirred for a short amount of time and left to ferment for another 24 hours. The coffee is then left to ferment in white ceramic tiled tanks for 24 hours.
