During the harvest in Burundi, families hand-pick coffee cherries. Each has between 200 and 250 trees, producing around 200-300 kilos of cherries per year. The cherries are taken to washing stations run by Greenco or Bugestal, who support the farmers with transport, training and sustainable practices. At these stations, the cherries are pulped and fermented in water for 10-12 hours, then washed, sorted and dried in the sun for 2-3 weeks.
