Producers harvest and deliver the coffee cherries to a centralized processing station where the coffee is depulped, fermented, washed and dried. These processing stations have been established in the last three years to provide producers with a centrally located processing facility that can process coffee more consistently and ensure better quality, which then results in better prices from the international market and more money funneling down to the small holder farmers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart of what makes Tanzania coffee so good is the processing is still done the old way, by hand. While most washed processed these days use mechanical machines to remove the fruit instantly. These are put through an old world washed processing which includes hitting a fermentation to loosen and remove the fruit. Depulped the same day they’re harvested, then fermented in cement tanks for anywhere from 24–72 hours to get the fruit off. They are then washed clean of mucilage and sorted through water channels before being spread on raised beds to dry, or dried in mechanical driers (if weather is bad). Sometimes they are given a 8–12-hour post-washing soak before they are dried, which is classically what made Kenyan coffee so famous (double washing) but is seldomly used these days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cuckoo Coffee Roastery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44859948892229,"sku":null,"price":14.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0222\/1500\/0128\/files\/Tanzania-Mbozi-Peaberry.jpg?v=1775744114","url":"https:\/\/cuckoocoffeeroastery.com\/products\/tanzania-mbozi-song-peaberry","provider":"Cuckoo Coffee Roastery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
