  • Processing

Black Diamond is a unique execution of a naturally processed coffee which utilizes aerobic fermentation. After harvest, coffee cherries are sorted by brix(sugar content). Only cherries with high levels of sugar content are chosen. Then the coffee cherries are dried on a greenhouse patio spread in a thick layer to extend drying and fermentation time up to 30 days. This slow and gentle drying ensures the embryo of the seed stays alive. Additionally this prevents the coffees from dying at high temperatures which cold crystalizes the sugars in the mucilage, thus Black Diamond.
