The Natural process has always been the commonly practiced method for producing coffee in the Rwenzoris. A recurring sight as you travel through the mountains is seeing farmers drying their harvests on tarpaulins at the front of their homes.

Locally, this coffee is called DRUGAR (Dried Uganda Arabica), and though Agri Evolve largely buy fresh cherries from the farmers they work with, there is still a demand driven by farmers to produce this traditional natural coffee which is so rooted in the history of the Rwenzoris.African Moon then, is a coffee grown and processed by the people of the Rwenzori Mountains, the Mountains of the Moon.

Once the cherries are picked, they are then placed in water to float. After this, each cherry is carefully inspected so that under-ripe and overripe fruits can be removed. Coffee is then placed on raised beds, known as patios. These beds are used to allow air to flow around the entire fruit and help offer a more even drying process. This drying process can take anywhere from 3 to 6 weeks. During this time, however, the coffee is turned or raked several times per day. This helps the cherries dry more evenly and even safeguards against the possibility of bruising which can change the eventual taste of the coffee. Once the fruits are completely dry, they are then sent out for hulling. This is where the seed is removed from the fruit. After hulling, the final step in the process is dry milling or removing the skin from the seed.
