The classification system strives for greater levels of quality, so they introduced a more stringent sorting process in order to secure only the ripest cherries; "first" (ripe cherries), "second" (semi-ripe cherries) and "third" (unripe cherries). This unique collaboration with the producers guarantees superb quality coffees. === Suggested Recipe ~~~ Basket: 20g VST In: 21.5g Out: 44g Time: 27sec Temp: 94.5°C ===
