The Latin word omni means – “all”. Coffee OMNI can be prepared in all possible ways. It can be made into a fabulous espresso, daily brew or just poured-over in the cup.
Ripe cherries are selectively harvested and stored in containers before processing. Then the pulp is removed with mechanical depulpers that separate beans from the cherries. After this process, all pulps are deposited in fermentation tanks to make organic fertilizer. When the lot is depulped, coffee beans are then placed in water tanks and fermented from 12 to 24 hours, depending on the altitudes of the production plots. After fermentation beans are removed from the tanks and washed so that remaining mucilage is removed. Then coffee is dried in so-called solar dryers, avoiding the contamination of the beans by external factors that can affect coffee. This step takes around 6 days for beans to dry and reach 11-12% moisture so that they can be transferred for storage. Beans are hulled and packed in 69 kg bags a few days before they are transported to port.
