Process Overview (all steps occur after the coffee is depulped):
Step 1: The coffee is dried to 20% humidity.
Step 2: The coffee is submerged in water heated to 102°F. Sugar, yeast, and pineapple juice are added, and the coffee ferments in open air for three days.
Step 3: After fermentation, the coffee returns to drying for 15–20 days.
