All the members of the Eratoi group follow the same processing methods, ensuring that only the ripest cherries are picked and processed with the utmost attention. Once harvested, each farmer will then hand sort and sieve their cherries to remove any defects, the cherries are then floated in a tank to further remove any defects. The mucilage-covered seeds are then fermented, 20kg at a time, for between 40-42 hours whilst the natural sugars are broken down. The coffee is then fully washed, before being dried on raised beds for 7-10 days.
The group, led by Simao de Deus, has steadily grown and now consists of 25 smallholder farmers, all hailing from previous generations of coffee farmers. With a strong sense of unity among all the members, the goal to process high-quality coffee is at the forefront of their work. Through this consolidated mindset, the Eratoi group continues to produce delicious coffee year after year, with bold flavour notes balanced with a hint of sweetness.
Being located at an altitude of 1800masl, the coffee of Eratoi grows amongst forests where the coffee is provided with a good balance of sun and shade to grow and mature slowly. This allows for optimum sweetness when harvested and processed.
