The process
The washed processing of Ethiopian is relatively standardized / follows similar patterns. First cherries are pre-sorted, which means under and overripe ones, as well as foreign material, are being moved for a more homogenous cherry quality. Then the cherries are depulped mechanically and then enter a fermentation tank. The remaining mucilage which surrounds the parchments breaks down with the help of naturally occurring yeasts and bacterias within 40 - 50 hours. Afterwards, the coffee is washed a second time in a slim water funnel which simultaneously separates low from high-density beans by gravity. Then the clean, wet parchment coffee is put on drying beds under a shade, where further sorting by hand happens. As the parchment is still wet at this point, it is much easier to detect irregular or insect-damaged beans. After 24 hours the coffee is moved to the another raised drying bed under the sun to be dried to a moisture content of 12% within 7-10 days.More from this seller
