Producer Reinel Borbon is a 2nd generation coffee grower. This lot starts with a careful harvest of the ripest cherries and an initial 20-hour dry fermentation in cherry before being de-pulped. The wet parchment is then placed in open barrels to ferment alongside Reinel’s Yeast Substrate for up to 80 hours, before being washed and placed to dry. It is then dried on raised beds for 14 – 18 days, depending on the weather.
