Harvest: Manual - The harvest of this coffee was done by manual stripping. Harvesting by manual stripping is done with hands that knock down the coffee beans when they come into contact with the branches. In manual stripping, the grains are removed all together. A cloth is spread under the coffee plants to trim the fruits. Afterwards, lifting and cleaning takes place, and the cherries are placed in bags for transport to the other stages.

Preparation: Natural Wet Separated - The cherries were prepared in the natural wet separated method. The natural wet separated method consists of keeping the coffee with the skin separated by density through water. This way, the ripe and unripe coffees are separated from the "dry" ones. This method can be done using a mechanical washer or using water tanks.

Fermentation: Aerobic - Aerobic fermentation occurs with the presence of oxygen after the coffee cherries are in a tank or piled up where microorganisms consume the sugars and phenolic compounds in the cherries and an oxidation process begins. In this process, microorganisms multiply in the presence of oxygen, which in turn bring and highlight exotic flavors to the coffee.

Drying: thin and thick layer on a conventional terrace - When drying in a thin layer, the cherries are no more than 4cm thick in open-air patios, where they are dehydrated by the heat of the sun and are turned over from time to time.  When drying in a thick layer, the cherries are approximately 8cm thick in open-air patios, where they are dehydrated by the heat of the sun and are turned over from time to time.
