Processing:This process is very short, and requires selecting the best grain ripe. Once the grain is collected, it is placed in the dryer under the sun, where the temperature is  controled so that drying is a slow process. In this process, the coffee is constantly moved to prevent the grain from developing fungus and damage the quality of the coffee.
