When coffee is delivered to Idido, the ideally ripe cherries receive a premium, and the rest is either renegotiated or returned to the farmer. Those ripe cherries are then taken to raised beds for drying which takes 15-20 days, depending on the weather conditions. The station manager, Samuel, has been collecting data for years on how cherries behave in processing, and studying which sub-districts produce the best cup quality, resulting in the station improving year after year.
