Processing Details

The Guanhua processing station is located in the village of Buku Abel at an altitude of 2200 meters. During the harvest and processing season (December-January), its unique growing environment and natural climate create Guanhua's distinctive flavor profile. We only begin natural processing when the sugar content of harvested red cherries reaches above 30. During the first two days of natural processing, we ensure the cherries maintain proper humidity to allow their fruit sugars to undergo thorough fermentation. Meanwhile, the high-altitude location allows the processing station's nighttime temperatures to drop to around 12°C, preventing over-fermentation odors due to excessive heat. When temperatures are higher at noon, we provide timely shading to prevent sun damage to the cherries.

At night, thick plastic sheets are used to protect against sudden rainfall. This allows the 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 packed into jute bags and stored in natural conditions at 12-22°C with 40-50% humidity for about 50 days of bean resting and further dehydration. When the green bean moisture content reaches around 10%, they are transported to the processing station for hulling, screening, and sale.
