The Holy Lion (Benti Nenqua) heard the ancient sayings of the local people.

SLD (Single Layer Drying/Slow Drying) refers to the post-processing technique, single-layer slow drying, meaning that the coffee is only one layer thick on the sun shelf, providing the perfect convection and drying environment for coffee cherries. While the drying schedule is controlled at about 18 days, proper slow drying makes the flavor develop better and is more durable for storage. The disadvantage of the speed and dryness is that the output is limited, so the price is on the high side.
