Happy coffee farmers first harvest coffee cherries from the trees and then pour them into pools filled with water. Due to varying densities caused by different ripeness levels, overripe and underripe coffee cherries along with some leaves and twigs will float on the surface, while sufficiently ripe 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 a depulper to remove the skin and pulp.

Next, the coffee beans with remaining mucilage enter the fermentation stage (fermenting with microorganisms in water or in the air). After fermentation is complete, the beans with parchment are washed clean in channels. Once washed, they enter the drying stage, where the moisture content of the green coffee beans is maintained at around 12% as much as possible. They are then packed in jute bags and left to rest for 2-3 months to allow the green beans to stabilize in quality. Finally, the parchment is removed and they're ready for sale!
