From flowers to the cup
|
Flowering |
|
Flowering takes place at the end of the dry season, very soon after the first big rain. The fragrant smell of flowers is strongly present because everything blooms suddenly, covering the entire plantation with white blossom. |
|
Seven month later, the harvest can begin. Only the ripe, red cherries are picked, hence the need to pick several times over a period of 2 to 3 months. |
|
|
It is a micro-factory that allows to depulp, wash to eliminate "honey" that adheres to the grain and dry it (11-12% water) to obtain the "parchment" coffee (of the "parchment" that still surrounds the seed) |
|
|
The parchment removal operations ans a selective sorting to obtain the best quality of green coffee are subcontracted to the beneficio LUM (Palmares). Then the coffee is exported by boat in bags of 23 kg. |
Roasting |
|
The roasting is done in the country of marketing to stick at best to the taste of the consumer (here in Switzerland, Grain Noir). |
