Coffee cherries are sorted, pulped, fermented overnight, and washed and graded before drying on raised beds for 8–14 days. It's a carefully managed process that highlights the work of the farmers and the washing station behind each harvest.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/7661\/files\/Kenya-2.png?v=1791726789\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brio Coffeeworks","offers":[{"title":"12 oz.","offer_id":67637348499689,"sku":"040835694074","price":22.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 lb.","offer_id":67637348532457,"sku":"040835694074-2","price":44.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 lb.","offer_id":67637348565225,"sku":"040835694074-5","price":111.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/7661\/files\/KenyaGathiruini.png?v=1791486745","url":"https:\/\/www.briocoffeeworks.com\/products\/kenya-gathiruini","provider":"Brio Coffeeworks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
