Sigri uses a classic processing method: fully-washed and sun-dried. Processing the coffee immediately after harvest ensures a clean flavor in the final cup.
Sigri使用傳統的水洗方法來處理咖啡,即咖啡在採摘以後馬上用完全水洗的方法將咖啡果肉和種子分離,然後再進行晾曬的方法。這種處理方法保證了sigri咖啡清澈乾淨的味道。

The beans are washed three times over a 72-hour period. In between washings, they are held in fermentation tanks, which helps to break down the pulp around the bean. Once all the pulp is removed, the beans are soaked one last time in fresh water.
經過72小時的沖洗、發酵的三個反覆過程,果肉逐漸和種子分離,在果肉最後脫離種子之後,咖啡豆子要經過最後一次清水的沖洗和浸泡。

The beans are spread onto wide patios to dry in the sun. Over the next several days, the beans will be turned over with rakes make sure every last bean is dry. Finally, the coffee is ready to be sorted, shipped, and roasted. The final cup is deep and sweet, with an earthy flavor.
(經過最後一次浸泡的)咖啡豆被平攤在晾場上晾曬。在接下來的幾天中,豆子會被經常播翻,以保證每粒豆子都完全曬乾。然後豆子就可以按照標準手選分級、運輸、烘焙了。最後到我們杯中的sigri,就是甘甜同時帶有淡淡泥土香氣的咖啡了。
