The Natural lot is immediately placed to dry on raised beds that are 25 meters long. Depending on the weather, this process might take from 16-25 days, with cherries constantly being moved around on the beds. The Washed lot undergoes a traditional wet-fermentation for between 36 and 72 hours, and then dried on African beds for about 12 to 15 days, depending on the weather.

Due to the extremely high elevations, harvest runs on the later end, from December through February. The Abore Station has around 124 temporary employees that are contracted during the harvest season and 4 permanent employees year-round.
