Cup Profile

Picking and sorting
Farmers hand pick the cherries and bring them to the wet mill, where ripe fruit is separated from under-ripe and damaged cherries before moving into individual hoppers.
Depulping, fermenting, and washing
An Aagard disc depulper sorts the beans by density using water and gravity. Each grade moves into its own tank for a dry fermentation of 12–16 hours. Afterward, the coffee is washed in clean water and graded again, with the densest parchment kept separate.
Drying
The parchment dries on raised tables for 10–14 days. It is raked through the day for even drying, and the tables are covered during peak heat and at night. Once the beans reach 10–12% moisture, they rest in conditioning bins before heading to the dry mill.
This release comes in 50gr sample packs, 250gr jars and 1 kg bags.
