With natural processing, the rind of the coffee cherry is left on the bean after harvesting. Daniel Correal then ferments his cherries in airtight barrels for 40 hours before letting them dry on raised beds under indirect sunlight. However, due to the high humidity, overfermentation or mold growth can easily occur, which is why the last drying phase takes place in a drying machine. Here the cherries are turned permanently.
