Coffee Process

Serto 74112

Elevation

Cherries are washed and sorted by density and sugar content, with the ripest selected for fermentation. They are sealed in oxygen-free tanks for 96 hours, allowing fermentation to convert sugars into lactic acid and enhance the coffee’s flavor. The cherries are then dried on raised beds for about 20 days, where they are regularly turned for even drying.

What if my package is delayed?

If your package is delayed, let us know and we'll track it down and escalate its delivery. If it's delayed more than 2 weeks past the shipment date, and your order includes coffee, we'll either refund your money or ship you fresh coffee at no cost.
Can my coffee be ground?

Freshness is critical to fully enjoying coffee. We roast to order to ensure your coffee is at peak freshness when it arrives. We roast to order and ship Monday-Thursday. Orders are usually fulfilled the production day after they are placed (for example, orders placed on Monday will ship on Tuesday). Orders placed Thursday-Sunday will be fulfilled and shipped on Monday.
