First, the cherries are harvested and sorted to remove any unripe or defective ones. Then, they are pulped, separating the beans from the fruit. The beans are fermented in water for 12 to 48 hours to break down the mucilage, a sticky layer surrounding them. After fermentation, the beans are thoroughly washed to remove any remaining residue. Finally, the clean beans are dried, either in the sun or using mechanical dryers, before being hulled, sorted, and prepared for export.
