How long does it take to dry the Kona coffee beans?
Natural sun-drying the gourmet Hawai‘i coffee beans takes from one to two weeks. The drying is completed when the moisture level of the coffee beans is between 9.5 to 13 percent. Drying may be completed much faster using a rotating hot drum dryer which may take only a few hours, though natural sun drying is considered the preferred method to produce the very best gourmet beans.
