Female Farmers
Female coffee bean farmers provide empowering benefits to both their local community and the wider coffee industry. By owning and managing their coffee farms, they create employment opportunities for other women and promote gender equality.
What is Washed Coffee?
Washed coffee is a method of processing coffee beans where the fruit is removed from the bean before it is dried. This results in a clean, bright flavor profile and is the most common method used in Central and South America.
Sorting
Coffee cherries are placed in water to segregate mature and immature. The mature, high-quality coffee cherries sink, whereas the immature, low-quality ones tend to float.
Pulping
Cherries are passed through a de-pulping machine, which removes the outer layers to extract the seeds, also known as coffee beans.
Fermentation
Seeds are placed in a water tank for 18-24 hours to undergo fermentation, floating seeds are removed during this period.
Drying
Seeds are taken out of the water tanks and dried. The seeds are meticulously dried to achieve a moisture content of 10-12%.
