This natural lot was handled with great care, with all harvesting, separation, and processing done by hand. A total of 4,370 liters of coffee were passed through a water tank to ensure fruit uniformity. The cherries were then spread in a thin layer on the patio and left untouched for three days. After that, they were turned three times a day while the drying area was gradually reduced every three days until the lot reached about 14% moisture. From there, drying continued in small piles turned four times daily for slow, even progress. The full drying phase lasted around 20 days, reaching approximately 11.5% moisture, after which the coffee rested for 20 days in wooden bins to stabilize and preserve its quality and complexity.
