Nyamyumba station was built in 2006. It has the capacity to process up to 496 tons of cherry annually. Farmers cultivate an average of 400 trees at 1,500 to 2,000 meters above sea level. After purchasing cherry from producers, Nyamyumba sends the cherry through a strict sorting process. First, washing station staff remove any lower quality cherry through flotation. Then, a specially trained staff visually inspects the remaining cherry for any visual defects. Then, cherry is placed in tanks to ferment. Cherry ferments anaerobically (without oxygen) in covered, airtight tanks for 24 to 72 hours. Following fermentation, cherry is moved to raised beds to dry. Cherry is turned frequently to ensure even drying. It takes approximately 30 days for cherry to dry
