After the cherries are meticulously picked at its optimum point of ripeness, Agroparque Las Villas turns to BanExport for their post-harvest expertise. Harvested cherries are transported to the BanExport processing mill called Area 18 in plastic crates on a refrigerated truck to ensure that quality is not compromised. At the carbon neutral mill, the coffee cherries are floated to sort out damaged and underripe fruit.
The coffee cherries are also sorted with an electronic sorter that provides uniformity in color, shape and size. Next the coffee is depulped and placed in a sealed bioreactor to control for temperature and levels of oxygen during the 48 hour fermentation process. Then the coffee parchment is washed and taken to a drying chamber with state-of-the-art environmental controls where the moisture is reduced to 11 percent over a period of 48 hours of continuous drying.
