Processing:
The process starts with hand sorting to select only ripe cherries and remove impurities like leaves or stones. The cherries then undergo a 24-hour pre-fermentation in plastic bags, followed by 24 hours of fermentation in cherry. After depulping, the beans are co-fermented anaerobically for 5 days with their mucilage, combined with yeast and strawberry flavors, boosting the honey process with rich fruit flavor.

Finally, the coffee is dried mechanically for 10 days to ensure even moisture levels, then stabilized for 5 days in GrainPro bags. The result is a vibrant cup with notes of strawberry, milk chocolate, and malic acid, showcasing Colombia’s diverse terroirs and innovative processing methods
