After being planted, coffee trees take 3-4 years to begin bearing fruit in the form of coffee cherries. Coffee cherries are harvested in one of two ways: strip picked, where all cherries are removed from the branch at once, or selectively picked, where only ripe cherries are individually picked by hand. There are two primary processing methods: dry processing, where fresh cherries are dried in the sun, and wet processing, where cherries are pulped to remove the skin and pulp. Processed coffee beans are then sorted, graded, packaged, and shipped worldwide for roasting. Roasting transforms green beans into the aromatic brown beans we purchase. Coffee is then ground to different degrees depending on the brewing

Coffee
- 2. After sprouting, the seedlings are removed from the seed bed to be planted in individual pots in carefully formulated soils. They will be watered frequently and shaded from bright sunlight. Planting often takes place during the wet season, so that the soil around the young trees remains
- 3. Depending on the variety, it will take approximately 3 or 4 years for the newly planted coffee trees to begin to bear fruit. The fruit, called the coffee cherry, turns a bright, deep red when it is ripe and ready to be harvested. All coffee is harvested in one of two ways: a) Strip picked b) Selectively picked…
- 4. the entire crop is harvested at one time. This can either be done by machine or by hand. In either case, all of the cherries are stripped off of the branch at one time. b)Selectively picked Only the ripe cherries are harvested and they are picked individually by hand. Pickers rotate among the trees every 8 10 days, choosing only the cherries which are at the peak of ripeness. Because this kind of harvest is labor intensive, and thus more costly, it is used primarily to harvest the finer arabica beans.
- 5. Coffee is processed in two ways : • The Dry Method The freshly picked cherries are simply spread out on huge surfaces to dry in the sun. In order to prevent the cherries from spoiling, they are raked and turned throughout the day. When the moisture content of the cherries drops to 11 percent, the dried cherries are moved to warehouses where they are stored.
- 6. the freshly harvested cherries are passed through a pulping machine where the skin and pulp is separated from the bean. The pulp is washed away with water, usually to be dried. The beans are separated by weight as they are conveyed through water channels, the lighter beans floating to the top, while the heavier, ripe beans sink to the bottom.
- 7. • Hulling Machines are used to remove the parchment layer (endocarp) from wet processed coffee. • Grading & Sorting Before being exported, the coffee beans will be even more precisely sorted by size and weight. They will also be closely evaluated for color flaws or other imperfections.
- 8. • The milled beans, now referred to as 'green coffee,' are ready to be loaded onto ships for transport to the importing country. Green coffee is shipped in jute bags which are loaded into shipping containers, or it is bulk shipped inside plastic-lined containers. Approximately seven million tons of green coffee is produced worldwide each year.
- 9. • Roasting transforms green coffee into the aromatic brown beans that we purchase, either whole or already ground, in our favorite stores. Most roasting machines maintain a temperature of about 550 degrees Fahrenheit. The beans are kept moving throughout the entire process to keep them from burning and when they reach an internal temperature of about 400 degrees, they begin to turn brown and the caffeol, or oil, locked inside the beans begins to emerge.
- 10. • The objective of a proper grind is to get the most flavor in a cup of coffee. How coarse or fine the coffee is ground depends on the method by which the coffee is to be brewed. Generally, the finer the grind the more quickly the coffee should be prepared. That is why coffee ground for use in an espresso machine is much finer than coffee which will be brewed in a drip system.
