The cherries undergo a distinctive 72-hour anaerobic fermentation before depulping and washing. After fermentation, the washed parchment dries for 2-3 weeks with continuous sorting and quality monitoring. The coffee displays citrusy orange and floral notes with hints of honey and black tea, finishing with lingering peach flavors and a clean, delicate aftertaste.
