FEDESI is six cooperatives that joined together in 2015: close to 3,000 farmers across the Sierra Madre in Chiapas, most working around two and a half hectares between 1,200 and 1,700 metres above sea level. The cherry is floated, pulped, fermented in cement tanks for ten to sixteen hours, then dried on the patio for five to ten days.

The caffeine comes out later, using nothing but water. The trick is that the water already carries everything that gives coffee its flavour, except the caffeine. Green coffee goes in, and the only thing the water has room to take is the caffeine. The flavour has nowhere to go, so it stays.
