Processing
"Pulping, washing, fermenting. Hands-on at the wet mill. Late-day roasting demo."
An afternoon at the wet mill, then watching the head roaster work. Every step from cherry to roast.
The cherries you picked at sunrise arrive at the wet mill.
You watch — and help with — the pulping, washing, and the start of fermentation. Each step changes the bean. Each shortcut shows up in the cup.
Late afternoon, the head roaster begins a small batch. You stand beside the drum, watch the curve, listen for the first crack.
By dinner, you've followed coffee from a tree to a roasted bean.
