Sun exposure (Sun-Dry Process / Procesado Natural)

Arabs have treated coffee in the sun since more than a thousand years ago. The sun drying method is also called "natural drying method" because it uses sunlight to dry coffee fruit.

Water-free solarization-a special treatment step that is different from others

Extreme three-stage bean selection

With years of experience, manor farmers pick ripe red fruits by hand; after three times of strict selection, they select solid, mature and full red fruits, that is, they are given natural sunlight, and the whole process is "completely unwatered". The sweet fruit is not lost at all.

Sun drying

After the coffee fruit is harvested and dried by natural drying, the original bright red coffee fruit will become black Dry cherry. The selected fruits will be exposed to the sun for 25 days (depending on the climate of the place of origin), and the water content of the beans will be controlled at about 12%. In order to make the fruits uniform in dryness and avoid excessive fermentation, it needs to be stirred from time to time in the process of sun exposure (too long or uneven, there will be over-fermented wine sour taste and rotten taste).

No matter how to deal with it, cover it with a tarp to block the night dew during the sun exposure.

Shelling

When exporting, the sun-dried fruit is then removed by a sheller to remove the hard peel, pulp and sheep skin.

Hand selection and grading

Hand-select defective beans, through our hand picking requirements of at least five times, strictly select S.H.B. Very hard grade coffee beans.

The advantages of solarization

Properly treated sun beans, beans are coated in the pulp naturally dry, absorb the essence of the fruit, so fruity, sweet, mellow thickness.

The disadvantages of solarization

Subject to weather conditions: this method is most afraid of the return of rain, the climate has a great impact on the quality of beans, and takes a long time; improper handling, easy to mix too many defective beans or impurities.
