More Info
The Castanhas do Brasil from Sitio Santa Rita is a coffee processed using the "Peeled Cherry" method, which involves removing the cherry skin before drying but retaining the mucilage (also known as Pulped Natural or Honey). Essentially, this process is a middle ground between natural and washed processing methods. This processing method can only be carried out in certain countries, and low ambient humidity is crucial because the coffee, still covered in mucilage, needs to dry quickly to avoid fermentation.
This practice significantly enhances the cup quality and considerably reduces the likelihood of defects. However, compared to the natural or washed processes, it is notably more expensive and requires highly specialized machinery.
