Coffee bean production: from picking to roasting, the secret of perfectly presenting the aroma of coffee!

Coffee is one of the most popular drinks in the world, and coffee beans are the key to making delicious coffee. From picking to roasting, each step has an important impact on the final taste.

First, let's look at the coffee bean picking process. Most high-quality coffee beans come from high altitudes because these places have a cool climate and fertile soil. When the berries are ripe, farmers pick them by hand and make sure to only choose those that are fully ripe. This selective picking ensures better quality beans.

Next comes the processing, where farmers peel and ferment the freshly picked berries. Peeling exposes the seeds inside (what we call coffee beans), and fermentation helps remove some of the bitter flavors.

Then it’s time to dry the beans, either in the sun or using mechanical equipment to ensure the moisture content is at the right level. Once dried, the beans are packed into bags and shipped to the roastery.

Finally, the roasting process. During the roasting process, the coffee beans are subjected to high temperatures, which will turn them into the dark brown color we love. Different roasting times and temperatures can produce different flavors of coffee. Light roasts are usually sour and floral, while dark roasts are more bitter and rich.

In summary, every step from picking to roasting plays an important role in the final presentation of aromatic coffee. Selecting high-quality ripe fruits, careful handling, proper drying, and just the right high temperature treatment are all key factors. Only coffee beans perfectly made through these steps can bring us a cup of delicious coffee with an intoxicating aroma and rich and long taste.
