Washed Processing
To preserve the purity and character of the Pink Bourbon variety, cherries were selectively handpicked at peak ripeness before being floated to remove lower-density fruit.
After depulping, the coffee undergoes a carefully monitored fermentation to enhance aromatic complexity while maintaining varietal clarity. It was then dried in solar drying canopies where moisture was reduced slowly and evenly under controlled conditions.
This meticulous washed process allows the terroir of Palestina and the unique attributes of the Pink Bourbon varietal to shine through.
