About three to four years are needed for the trees to produce fully shaped cherries. When they turn bright red then they are ripe and ready to be picked manually by hand.
After being fully cultivated, the beans get naturally dried by the sun until reaching the optimum 13% of air content. After being hulled, careful selections are made based on the size, weight, and color of the beans.
