This process consists of an initial fermentation of the drupes for 12-18 hours, pulping and an initial drying of 5-6 hours. 
The parchment is then removed when the humidity is still between 30% and 40% and the drupes are then dried without the parchment until reaching 13% final humidity. 
This process achieves the typical bluish-green color of green coffee and a cup profile with intense body and moderate acidity.
 Ketiara is a women-led cooperative founded in 2009 by 32 founding members. 
Today it has almost 2000 small farmers and Ibu Ramah is the president. 
So it's not just about coffee trading, but also about promoting value and passion to celebrate women in the coffee business. Recommended coffee/water ratio: ESPRESSO: 15g for double espresso MOKA: 15g for 3 moka FILTER: 18g per 300 ml (2 cups)
