Outgrowers in Jejeba deliver freshly harvested cherries to a local collection point, where they’re processed at the Jejeba washing station. From there, the workflow follows a careful, time-honored rhythm: cherries are pulped, then undergo a 48–72 hour submerged fermentation (adjusted to ambient conditions), followed by washing and a secondary 12-hour soak. The coffee is then dried on raised beds over the course of 10–12 days, allowing clarity and structure to fully develop in the cup.
