Coffee bean process: from picking to roasting, a journey to enjoy the aroma of coffee step by step

Coffee, as one of the most popular drinks in the world, has a unique aroma and taste. However, to turn coffee beans into delicious coffee, it needs to go through a series of delicate processes. From picking to roasting, let us embark on a journey to taste the mellow coffee.

First comes the picking stage. When the berries on the coffee trees are ripe, farmers begin to pick these red or yellow berries by hand. They only select the most perfect and ripe berries, and only pick berries of similar maturity from the same tree each time. This process requires patience and skill to ensure that the plants are not damaged while harvesting high-quality beans.

Next comes the processing stage. During the processing, farmers peel and flesh the freshly picked berries to obtain the "core" that hides two unsprouted seeds (i.e. coffee beans). The moist and sticky outer layer with a gelatinous nature called the "yellow skin" or "white honey" layer is then dried in the sun. This process requires careful control of temperature and humidity to ensure the quality of the coffee beans.

The last stage is the roasting. During the roasting process, the coffee beans are heated to a high temperature for a period of time. During this process, the moisture inside the coffee beans will evaporate, and the aroma and taste will change. Different degrees of roasting time and temperature are determined according to different taste requirements and style preferences.

In summary, in the journey of tasting mellow coffee, picking to roasting is a crucial link. Only after going through the process of careful selection, processing and roasting can you truly experience the deliciousness and enjoyment brought by high-quality coffee.
