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.

GEISHA WASHED
Known as Ironman, the Auromar Geisha washed is the flagship of the farm and our ambassador to all markets.

Early and late season cherries are the main volume of the washed that goes trough between 12 to 18 hours of fermentation after de-pulping. Washed beans are sun dried.

Once dried to the optimal humidity the  beans go trough two rounds of manual selection before let to rest for no less than six weeks. 

Before preparation for packing and shipping, the Ironman is tuned-in to the desired level of humidity required by our buyers.
