The Story
Shyira is one of Rwanda’s most remote and elevated washing stations, perched at 2,000 metres in the cool, mountainous Nyabihu District.
Cherries are hand-sorted, floated to remove defects, and pulped before undergoing fermentation in concrete tanks for approximately 8 to 12 hours. During fermentation, the parchment is agitated several times through the day by way of ceremonial foot-stomping.
After fermentation, the parchment is separated into density grades, given a final post-wash rinse, and transferred to raised beds for drying. The drying process spans around 30 days, with regular turning to ensure even moisture reduction.
