COLA JELLY LMTD COFFEE Lmtd coffee

The cherries picked are the ripe ones, which are bright red, not green (under-ripe) nor too dark (over-ripe). Once the cherries are picked, they are then placed in water to float and separate the floaters from the rest of the cherries. These cherries were then placed in fermentation tanks to be inoculated and let them ferment for a few days until the pH reached a desirable level. Cherries then dried on raised beds to allow air to flow around the fruit and offer a more even drying process. The drying process of natural coffee could last from 4 to 6 weeks and during this step, the cherries are turned or raked several times a day to help cherries dry more evenly. Once the fruits are completely dry (dried pods), they are then sent out for hulling to remove the coffee bean from the dried pods and then off to the dry milling process to sort the beans based on weight, size, and color.
