named due to its dark brown parchment color, our 26 Brix or
above cherries are taken directly from the pulping machine, to the
sun drying patios in wheelbarrows, to avoid any naturally remaining
fruit pulp and mucilage wash-off, to get a crisp sun bathe, always
taking care of not scorching it during high temp hrs. There, using
our innovative shade cloth over our sun drying patios, we carefully
move it every ½ hr., for 8 days aprox. Then we take it to our
African beds greenhouse, to get slowly dried. All mucilage on the
beans, it dries in there for a few days, still absorbing all the
fruity sugars, getting on the bean almonds, chocolate, citric,
sugary notes, as well as orange, lime, shiny tangerine, and some
green apple. Until it reaches a perfect 10.5% humidity, it is taken
to our resting warehouse as well, which is a ground floor beneath a
wooden building, creating a perfect 20°-21° storage climate.
