Sabio lab processing details
Right after picking, ripe cherries are floated and closed into airtight tanks, without water, to ferment for 4 days. During fermentation, we closely monitor pH levels, mass temperature and brix level. After, the cherries are dried on raised beds for 35 days and reposed for 1 weeks before hulling. Dry parchment and green coffee beans are stored in Ecotact bags to preserve their attributes. Pro tip: To avoid unwanted fermentation, these cherries are selected from the midday “medida” (picking).
