When harvest starts, coffee cherries are harvested with specialized machines that select cherries based on their ripeness, evaluating and choosing specific lines of coffee and parts of trees where the fruits are at their ripest. After harvesting, the cherries are spread on the ground and dried in the sun for several days. They are then transported to a dry mill where the beans are separated from the pulp. The beans are spread on drying patios to undergo slow sun drying until they reach 11.5% moisture. After drying, the beans are separated from the hull and sorted by size and quality. Finally, the coffee is packed in 60 kg bags, marked with the coffee lot’s information, and shipped in containers to Rocket Bean.
