"Upon grounding, the coffee reveals aroma of blackberry, blackcurrant, and a hint of cedar. At first sip, the flavour is dominated by blackcurrant and blackberry with undertones of roselle with a touch of cedar creating a deep and rich experience."

For the pulping process, clean water from Olabaniata River is pour in the pulping hopper, funneling the cherries through a chute into the pulping hopper, funnelling the cherries into the pulping chamber. The beans are fermented overnight and have to pass a quality test by the mill manager before it is washed. Once it is washed the beans are sorted with a density test and sundried on the raised beds for 10 to 15 days.
