Modern Processing Facility

Advanced processing equipment combined with traditional methods to ensure optimal quality and efficiency in every batch.

Processing Methods

We offer multiple processing methods to bring out the best characteristics in different coffee varieties.

Wet Processing (Washed)

The wet processing method produces clean, bright coffees with pronounced acidity and clarity of flavor. This method is ideal for high-quality arabica coffees and is preferred for specialty coffee markets.

Process Steps:

  • Cherry sorting and grading
  • Pulping to remove cherry skin
  • Fermentation to remove mucilage
  • Washing and final cleaning
  • Controlled drying to optimal moisture

Characteristics:

  • • Clean, bright flavor profile
  • • Higher acidity and clarity
  • • Preferred for specialty markets
  • • Consistent quality results

Dry Processing (Natural)

The dry processing method produces full-bodied coffees with complex fruit flavors and lower acidity. This traditional method is excellent for creating unique flavor profiles and is increasingly popular in specialty markets.

Process Steps:

  • Cherry selection and sorting
  • Direct sun-drying with cherry intact
  • Regular turning and monitoring
  • Hulling to remove dried cherry
  • Final cleaning and grading

Characteristics:

  • • Full body with fruit flavors
  • • Lower acidity, higher sweetness
  • • Complex flavor development
  • • Traditional processing method

Semi-Washed (Honey Process)

The semi-washed method combines elements of both wet and dry processing, creating coffees with balanced characteristics. This method allows for controlled flavor development while maintaining processing efficiency.

Process Steps:

  • Cherry pulping with mucilage retention
  • Controlled drying with partial mucilage
  • Mechanical removal of dried mucilage
  • Final cleaning and preparation

Characteristics:

  • • Balanced body and acidity
  • • Enhanced sweetness
  • • Unique flavor complexity
  • • Efficient processing time
  • • Growing market demand
  • • Sustainable water usage
