Processing

Washed: the cherries are depulped, fermented to loosen the mucilage, washed and dried. This gives clean, bright cups that show the variety and terroir clearly.

Infused: part of the aroma comes from fruit or other ingredients added during processing. We label infused lots clearly so you can decide how to present them to your customers.
