Caturra Chiroso Natural Process

Step 1:

  • Floating and selection of picked cherries – only ripe berries are chosen.
  • 12-hour oxidation at room temperature of 25°C.
  • Anaerobic fermentation in bags and plastic bins for 50 hours at an average temperature of 16 to 18°C.
  • The cherries are transferred to tanks for a 60-hour oxidation, leaving them to reach a maximum temperature of 42°C.
  • Afterwards the coffee cherries are moved to tanks where they are submerged under water which is at 45C, with leachate recirculation for 70 hours.

Step 2:

  • The drying process starts in canopies at a maximum temperature of 32°C.
  • The drying is interrupted when an 18% humidity level is reached.
  • The coffee is then moved to black bags in a dark storage room leaving it to rest for 60 hours, to continue with the drying process until reaching up to 11% humidity.
