The first step regardless of the process is cherry sorting. Under shade, every
cherry is sorted to ensure only the ripest are chosen and that any visibly
defective cherries are removed. Next, the hand selected cherries are placed
into tanks where they go through multiple rounds of flotation to separate off
the defective beans.
All Baho washed coffees undergo a double fermentation process. After
depulping, the coffee is immediately dry fermented (placed into an open-air
fermentation tank with no water) for 8 to 12 hours. The coffee is then washed
and the tank is filled with water for an additional 8 to 12 hour wet fermentation
(coffee completely submerged in water). Once the fermentation is complete,
the coffee is pushed through the grading channels. Here the coffee is very
rigorously washed and separated by density.
