The entire process—from flowering, which lasts only three days, to unripe cherry and finally ripe cherry—takes just 8–12 weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRacemosa has also demonstrated proven tolerance to leaf miner and, importantly, resistance to leaf rust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the greatest challenges with Racemosa is that harvest, processing, and drying take place during December, the hottest and wettest month of the year. These conditions make drying the coffee—particularly for natural processing or the carbonic maceration methods —extremely difficult.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdding to these challenges is the tiny size of the beans, which are approximately one-quarter the size of Arabica beans. Their small size allows them to slip through gaps in nearly every piece of machinery used throughout production, from pulpers and hullers to roasters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coffee is rare and hard to come by. The price is reflective of the yield and the hard work it takes to produce.
