Happy coffee farmers first pick coffee cherries from the trees, then pour them into pools filled with water. Due to varying densities caused by different maturity levels of coffee cherries, overripe and underripe coffee cherries, along with some branches and leaves, will float on the surface, while sufficiently ripe coffee cherries will sink to the bottom. Naturally, this method screens out coffee cherries that pass the first round.

The selected ripe coffee cherries then enter the depulping machine to remove the skin and pulp.

Next, the coffee beans with remaining pulp mucilage enter the fermentation stage (fermenting with microorganisms in water or in the air). After fermentation is complete, the fruit with parchment skin enters the washing channels to be thoroughly rinsed. Once washed clean comes the drying stage, where the moisture content of the green coffee beans is maintained at around 12% as much as possible, then they are packed into burlap bags and left to rest for about 2-3 months of bean maturation, aiming to stabilize the quality of the green beans. Finally, the parchment skin is removed and they're ready for sale!
