The cherries have been harvested and taken to the Buena Vista mill on the same day of the harvest.
This lot is a washed lot and the cherries have been processed at the Buena Vista mill including an anaerobic dry fermentation step of 42 hours after pulping the cherries. The parchment was then dried in mechanical dryers until it reached 12% of moisture content. This takes about 2 weeks
The mechanical dryers are big drums heated up with wood logs, gas or electricity depending on the drum. When on sunbeds, coffee is moved every 30 min in the morning and every hour in the afternoon. When on the boxes, coffee is moved every hour. The temperature in the mechanical dryers never goes over 40 degrees Celsius and moisture content and temperature are controlled at all time with meters.
