PROCESSING DETAILS - Washed

After riping the cherries, the coffee is taken to Bella Vista for wet and dry mill.

Coffee is separated by lots (day of picking, variety, altitude). Then it goes through the whole process of depulping, fermentation, washing and the drying process.

The coffee could be sun-dried in patios or in the greenhouse. The greenhouse allows to dry the coffee in a controlled environment and gradually, which results in a better cup. The airflow permits a more uniform drying process and the coffee beans can easily be hand sorted. After some resting time in the warehouses, the coffee goes through the dry mill process. The parchment from the coffee is removed and then the green beans are separated by size and weight. Finally the coffee is picked by an electronic classifier machine, which removes all the damaged beans by using a color scale.

Through all this process we assure the best quality coffee from the Antigua Region is assured.
