This coffee was grown by small-holder farmers, each with 1 - 2 hectares of land. The coffee is grown in rich, fertile soils at very high altitudes alongside farmers own food crops.
Ripe cherries are taken to the washing station after harvesting where they are washed, sorted to remove defects & placed on raised "African" drying beds where they are dried for 10-21 days.
