Freshly harvested coffee cherries are first fermented inside bags in cement tank for 60 hours. Then the cherries are moved onto drying beds. For the first 3 days, the cherries get distributed with a thickness of 1 to 2cm without being touched. Starting from day 4, the cherries are then moved 3 to 4 times a day by gradually increasing the thickness to 3 to 4cm. Starting from day 10, the cherries get moved 8 to 10 times a day until the moisture content drops to 11%.
