Sustainability & Quality

Natural drying on African dry beds enhances the sweetness and creates a full-bodied mouthfeel. This natural processing method gives the coffee depth and character.

processing
The sun-dried "natural" processing method preserves the original character of the coffee and enhances its complexity. The coffee cherries are harvested by hand when fully ripe, then dried in the sun – a process that requires a great deal of patience and skill.
