Purple cherries were handy-picked and washed with clean water in order to diminish the bacterial load. Then cherries were submitted to submerged fermentation for 12 hours. Cherries were depulped and spread in thin layers in to concrete patios. Drying time: 8 days. During all the drying process we avoid high temperatures (over 40C) at the surface of the parchment. (It is demonstrated that temperatures over 40C will affect the protein reserves in the coffee bean).
