The Process

Sun, time, and a relentless sorting standard.

Hand-picked cherries are floated to remove unripe and damaged fruit, then sun-dried in whole cherry on a combination of patios and raised beds. Drying takes 18–22 days, hand-turned multiple times daily to ensure even moisture loss.

The natural process honors Coclé's long-standing Robusta tradition while applying the sorting, drying discipline, and traceability of a specialty-grade operation.

It is the lot we hand to roasters who want a clean, characterful, premium Robusta for their flagship espresso blend, without compromise on origin story or quality control.
