Cherries with more than 18° Brix are harvested, cleaned and subjected to carbonic maceration for 72 hours.

After pulping to a black honey level, the mosto is extracted and fermented with yeast for 48 hours. This starter is infused into the coffee, for another 48 hours.

The coffee is dried in the sun on African beds for 15 days, stabilized for 8 days.

After 10 to 15 days of final stabilization, the coffee is cupped.
