All of Auromar production is manually collected at the peak of ripeness. Harvesters are paid a premium above the prevailing wages, to encourage careful picking
of only the very ripe cherries. After collection and selection in the field, the cherries either go the mill for Washed processing or sent to the drying bins to be processed as Natural.

GEISHA NATURAL
The Natural process consists of letting the coffee cherries dry in the open either on the ground or in meshed bins until ready and then moved to the mill to remove the dried peel and pulp.

To make the Auromar Natural we use very ripe, middle or late harvest cherries.

All of the Auromar Natural drying process is done on premises. The ripe cherries are hand-carried to the process area in the farm (no more than 800 meters from the farthest tree).

There, the cherries are laid in “African beds”; raised drying beds made from wood and mesh screens at waist height that let air and light over and under the beans.

The coffee will then be allowed to dry during the day, and some moonlighted nights. Depending on the weather, it will take between 20 to 30 days to complete the process.
