The fruit is removed from the cherry, then the beans are fermented and washed before drying.

Whole coffee cherries are dried with the fruit intact, then hulled to release the green bean.

Anaerobic

Cherries are fermented in sealed tanks with little or no oxygen before drying.

Grades

Grades follow the Ethiopian green coffee grading system, in which Grade 1 is the highest.

Quality control

Every lot is checked against the sample you approved

These five steps are part of every purchase order.

    The buyer approves or rejects the sample in writing within 3 working days. No lot ships before written approval.

  3. A sample from every bag

    Before loading, a documented sample is drawn from 100% of the bags to build a composite sample for each lot, which is compared with the approved PSS.

  4. Inspection to the purchase order

    Each lot is checked for:

    • Grade
    • Screen size
    • Moisture
    • Defects
    • Weight
