HOW COFFEE IS PROCESSED AT UBUMWE WASHING STATION
- The ripe cherries are picked by hand and then delivered to the washing station.
- Before being pulped, the cherries are deposited into flotation tanks, then pulped the same day using a mechanical pulper that divides the beans into three grades by weight.
- The beans in parchment are then dry-fermented overnight for 8–12 hours.
- The wet parchment is then soaked in water for around 24 hours, before being moved to pre-drying beds where they are intensively sorted for around six hours.
- The sorted beans are finally moved onto raised African drying beds in the direct sun to dry slowly over 10–20 days.
- Once at 11–12% humidity, the coffee (still in its parchment) is stored in the washing station’s warehouse in carefully labelled lots until it is ready for export.
