Coffee drying. With the aid of wooden rakes, workers spent the day on the patio revolving the coffee beans, so that they could dry evenly heated by the sun and avoid accumulation of moisture and fermentation, which could seriously compromise the quality of the product. At the end of the day, the production could be stored so that it could be sheltered from the weather, or divided into small piles and covered with fabric.
