  • 32-hour oxidation at an average room temperature of 25°C
  • Anaerobic fermentation in bags or containers for 60 hours at an average temperature ranging between 18 and 16°C
  • Coffee is transferred to pulping tanks or hoppers carrying out 18-hour oxidation while collecting the leachate/mossto.
