The processing of this coffee is a true work of art

The Washed Enat Buna method is a classic of the genre subjected to rigorous control, extracting crystalline transparency and noble sweetness from the beans:

1. Depulping and Selection: Hand-picked, fully ripe cherries are depulped, preparing the beans for the fermentation stage.

2. Fermentation (Washed): The beans rest for 24–36 hours in concrete tanks with cool, low-oxygen water. This stage is responsible for developing a clean, tea-like profile and balanced acidity.

3. Controlled Drying: For 8–15 days, the coffee rests in shaded conditions, preventing rapid moisture loss and preserving delicate notes of melon and peach.

Thanks to this process, the coffee gains a sophisticated, light character with clearly defined fruit accents.

• Flavor: Juicy peach, ripe melon, green apple juice.
