Once got a high score of 92 in Coffee Review!

The Coffee lovers Cooperative (DukundeKawa Cooperative), founded in 2000, is now organized by more than 2000 coffee farmers, 80 per cent of the manpower is performed by women, and has its own washing plant in 2003, funded by the Defense system Fund. In exchange for this benefit, the cooperative donates 10 per cent of its total annual coffee production income to the fund. During the local harvest period, farmers gather ripe red-purple coffee berries to the treatment station and select them by hand to ensure that there are no immature or damaged fruits mixed in. Then remove the peel, wash the pulp in the channel after 12 to 18 hours of washing and fermentation in a cool and low temperature environment. During the drying process of the scaffolding, the members of the treatment station will turn manually and take care of them carefully to ensure that the raw beans with shells will not lose moisture too quickly or dry unevenly in sufficient sunlight, until the moisture content of raw beans drops steadily below 14%.
