The ripest and highest-quality berries are sent to the patio, where they are evenly spread for drying, regularly stirred, and calibrated. Special overhead covers, known as "African beds," are used for drying. Natural processing takes about 3-4 weeks and is one of the longest methods. The coffee is dried until the berry skin takes on a distinctly dark color, and the parchment is completely separated from the dried pulp, checked by the characteristic knocking of the grain inside the dried husk. The moisture content in the beans should reach 12%. At this stage, it is crucial to thoroughly mix the berries and select defects. After drying, the berries are collected in bags for the beans to equalize moisture. In the final stage, the beans are sent to the huller to remove all outer layers. The finished coffee is packed in 69 kg jute bags with GrainPro protection and exported.
