Its flavour is dominated by an earthiness which is characteristic of dry processed coffees.. Coffees are first dried on patio to 25% moisture content, and then transported to mechanical driers and brought down to 11% moisture content. They have hooked an app up to their mechanical driers which allows them more control over the drying process by being able to remotely monitor what is going on. Some of the pergamino from the hulling machines is used to fuel these app controlled mechanical driers, with the aim to reuse waste product and spend less energy and time to create homogeneous results.
