The coffee is fully washed and processed on the farms using the locally made hand pulpers, buckets for fermentation, and dried on raised beds.

Single Use Pod
A medium grind is needed for this method. The coffee is brewed by dripping hot water over the grounds, contained in a Single Use Pod.

Drip Coffee
This method requires a medium grind, similar in texture to sea salt. The coffee is brewed by dripping hot water over the grounds, which are contained in a filter.
