Processing Details

The Shakisso processing station is located in Buku Abel village at an altitude of 2200 meters. During the harvest and processing season (December-January), its unique growing environment and natural climate create Shakisso's distinctive flavors. We only begin natural processing when the harvested red cherries reach a sugar content of 30 or higher. During the first two days of natural processing, we maintain the moisture of the red cherries to ensure thorough fermentation of their fruit sugars. Meanwhile, the high-altitude location allows the processing station's nighttime temperature to drop to around 12 degrees Celsius, preventing over-fermentation odors that could occur due to excessive heat. During midday when temperatures are higher, we provide timely shading to prevent sun damage to the red cherries.

At night, thick plastic sheets are used to wrap the cherries to protect against sudden rainfall. This allows the red cherries to ferment and dehydrate at lower temperatures. After 18 days of natural processing, when the moisture content of the green coffee beans drops to around 13%, the natural processing is stopped. The beans are then packed in jute bags and stored in warehouses under natural conditions of 12-22 degrees Celsius and 40-50% humidity for about 50 days for bean resting and further dehydration. When the green bean moisture content reaches around 10%, they are transported to the processing plant for hulling, screening, and sale.
