WHAT IS A Natural PROCESS?

It belongs to the Natural coffee processes.

In the Natural (or dry) process, the coffee beans are dried inside the cherry. After harvesting, only the ripest cherries are selected and immediately placed on raised drying beds or patios under the sun. The fruit remains completely intact during the entire drying stage, allowing the seeds inside to absorb the natural sugars and organic compounds from the surrounding pulp. This traditional and eco-friendly method produces an incredibly sweet, full-bodied cup with intense, jammy fruit flavors and a complex, winey acidity.

IN THIS COFFEE:

A precision climate-controlled drying natural protocol. Hand-harvested, fully ripe cherries initially undergo strict disinfection upon arrival at the processing plant. The whole, uncrushed cherries are then transferred into a specialized greenhouse, where they undergo an ultra-slow, uniform dehydration cycle over 35 days under tightly regulated environmental conditions.
