The cycle of coffee at Hacienda Masini for 150 years…  Harvest begins in early October when ripe coffee cherries are picked and de-pulped the same day to remove the red skin. Green cherries stay on the tree until they are ripe. The next day, the de-hulled beans are washed and sun-dried on trays. These trays can be moved under the house to keep them dry. In 10-20 days, depending on sunlight, the beans dry to 11.5% humidity. They are then stored in air-tight bags for two months to enhance flavor. After that, they go through a machine called a “piladora” to remove any remaining thin skin, similar to peanut skin. Once "piladas," the beans, now known as green beans for their color, are ready for roasting and packaging.
