Coffee is washed down the concrete channel at Mutitu cooperative. After fermentation that breaks down the mucilage fruit layer, fresh water flow and agitation with wood rakes cleans off residual pulp. The channel also sorts coffee by density using these wooden slats. Light coffee is lower quality and flows over the little dams, then is taken to separate drying beds. Then the slat is lifted and the denser coffee that was held back flows to the end of the Channel to be transported to the first quality drying table. Traditional, simple and highly effective.
