Tuku

The lot was processed at a privately owned coffee mill called Gerba Doku Tuku. "Tuku" is the mill owner's name. The processing site sits at 2125 meters above sea level. The dry process method is the oldest way of processing whole coffee cherries, and is a big part of why coffees like Tuku taste so fruity. It takes a lot longer to dry whole coffee cherries down to the standard of 10-11% moisture, and during that time a fermentation occurs within. Not only are dry process coffees often fruit-forward, they also produce a lot more chaff than fully washed ("wet process").
