Rather than buying finished green coffee, Caravela purchases it wet (parchment or cherry) and dries it centrally at their La Concordia facility. This runs against the usual speciality logic that producers should dry their own coffee to capture the value themselves — selling wet is normally how commodity buyers and \"coyotes\" exploit cash-strapped farmers, paying low prices and stripping out traceability.
