Ripe cherries are picked, delivered by famers to the washing station, where they are digitally weighed and tracked with the farmer. The cherries are hand sorted from green and defects, before being sent to a depulper. The coffee is then sorted by density, using water, before being sent to tanks. Then its dry-fermented for 20 - 24 hours. Once its ready, its rinsed through washing channels, where its again sorted for density. The coffee is then sent to soaking tanks, where its kept underwater to ferment again for 24 - 48 hours. Its then drained, and sent to drying beds until the desired moisture content is reached.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eThis is a bright and \u003cb\u003eelegant\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eWashed \u003c\/b\u003eKenyan profile.

Managed by the GFCS, with roughly 900 active members and 9 permanent staff. They hire 25 seasonal works to help with the bulk of cherry processing. The area surrounding Gachatha is densely populated, so the factory must take extra precautions with the waste water and pollutants. They have soak pits for water treatment, so the waste water is absorbed by the soil instead of sent into the community water supply.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eImport Partner: Cafe Imports\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eAll our coffees are sold as whole beans.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anamorphic Coffee","offers":[{"title":"250g \/ Light","offer_id":48099071131869,"sku":null,"price":31.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/4201\/9805\/files\/mock_light_26_27bec8cb-6843-4f20-a331-6a9402029697.png?v=1782968644","url":"https:\/\/anamorphiccoffee.com\/products\/gachatha-aa","provider":"Anamorphic Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
