Seeding Coffee begins its journey as a aseedling in a nursery. Coffee seeds are generally planted in large beds in shaded nurseries. Remains in nursery for 14 months before being planted on the farm.

Stop 2: Flowering Begins at the start of the rainy season after the first hard rain. The flowers soon fall off. Then the coffee fruit begins to develop. Stp 3: Green Fruit The coffee fruit will generally take about 9 months to fully develop. The fruit will remain a green colour for most of the cycle. It takes approximately 3 - 4 years for a newly planted coffee tree to bear fruit. Coffee will ripen a bright, deep red colour. Ripe Fruit Some will ripen yellow or orange colour. Now coffee is ready to be harvested. Typically one major harvest a year. Steps Harvesting and Picking In countries like Colombia, there are two flowerings per year. They have a main and secondary crop. Two Tyser of picking Strip Picked: Selectively Picked Only the ripe cherries are All of the cherries are harvested, and they are picked stripped off of the branch by machine or by hand. individually by hand. The more selective, the higher the quality. A good picker picks an approx. 100 to 200 pounds of coffee cherries a day. This will produce 20 to 40 pounds of coffee beans. Step be Processing In order to maintain quality, must be sent within 24 hours of being picked. the Cherries Coffee is processed in one of two ways The Dry Method: Cherries are simply spread out on huge surfaces to dry in the sun. The Wet Method: Cherries are de-pulped after harvesting so the bean is dried with the parchment skin left on. If coffee beans are decaffeinated during this stage, manufacturers sell the caffeine to soft drink and pharmaceutical companies. Coffee is put into a fermentation tank for approximately 12-24 hours. Step7 Fermentation Natural bacteria will break down an outer layer called mucilage. develops The flavours in the coffee will fully at this stage. Coffee goes through a washing channel of cold water. Stop 8: Washing This stops the fermentation. Helps clean coffee of any excess mucilage. Coffee can be dried by mechanical dryers or patio drying in the sun. Styt. Drying patio drying is a longer process but yields a slightly sweeter cup. Most important part of the coffee making process. Sortings Stop 10: High quality coffees will be hand sorted. Removes any defects that may appear. Mechanized system moves the beans through a chute while a "mechanical eye" blows a puff of air This removes discoloured, defective beans from the line of production. fist, n. Roarting Coffee beans are usually roasted in huge commercial roasters in line with procedures and specifications of the manufacturer. Roast masters follow a recipe known as a "roast profile" to highlight certain Every batch is skilfully roasted to the peak of flavour. This highlights the best characteristies each bean has to offer. Roast Level AKA Surface Acidity Flavor Light-bodies and somewhat sour, grassy, and snappy Cinnamon roast, Dry High half city, New England Light A bit sweeter than light roast, full body balanced by acid snap, aroma, and complexity Dry Full city, American, regular, breakfast, brown High Medium High, Viennese, Italian Espresso, Slightly shiny Somewaht splcy; complexity is traded for rich chocolaty body, aroma is exchnaged for Medium Continental Dark Sweetness French Very olly Low Smokey, tastes primarily of roasting, not of the inherent Darkest flavor of the bean Coffee is cupped (tested) at every step in the entire process.
