After are sorted, cherry is pulped. Coffee is then dry fermented for up to 12 hours and then washed in clean water, soaked from 12-14hours.

This lot is a classic washed African coffee with lots of clean fruity notes of redcurrant and nice pleasant acidity on the other hand. Acidity is not super aggressive (lime acidity). Filter is very clean and espresso very balanced.
