This naturalNatural processThe whole cherry is dried with the fruit still on the seed. Gives heavier body and big fruit flavors — think berries and wine — sometimes with a fermenty edge. lot reflects both Bensa’s high elevation and Bekele’s careful drying practices. At 2,200 meters, cooler conditions slow cherry maturation, supporting sugar development and clarity. Extended drying over 22 to 25 days deepens fruit density and builds a creamy texture, while careful flotation ensures uniform ripeness. Together, these steps produce a fruit-forward profile that feels polished and intentional rather than heavy.
