Finca La Quebrada, from Santa Barbara, Honduras

Dolmin begins his Washed process by carefully picking cherries at peak ripeness. The cherries are depulped and dry-fermented in concrete tanks for 18 hours, then thoroughly washed to remove all mucilage. The parchment is then pre-dried on raised beds for 8 hours with manual sorting to remove defects, then finished in a parabolic solar dryer for approximately 14 days, depending on the weather.
