- Only ripe fruits are harvested by hand. After the fruits are separated from the beans (depulping), they are left in the fermentation tank overnight. Normally, no intervention is made to the beans until the humidity drops to 12%. In this process, however, the parchment and the pectin layer on the outside are stripped of the beans. They are then left to dry. Complex acidity and flavors appear as a result of this process.
