I am a coffee bean, from Huilan, a city in southwestern Colombia, which is 1800 meters above sea level and has unique geographical conditions. My friends and I are under the careful care of the uncle of coffee farmers. Live a carefree life and grow up happily.

Suddenly one day, the farmer uncle picked me up from Catrra's mother and took a beautiful picture of me with a camera.

Then I saw the little friend who came over with him take off his clothes (Oh, how shy)

Then we were undressed and began the turning point of life (Oh no, it should be "Ka Sheng")!

● 1. Primary (bean selection)

The uncle of the coffee farmer said he would take us to the "experience" (washing), so we were put in the water sink and soaked for almost 24 hours. At this time, the qualified (mature) friends will sink, while the unqualified (immature and overmature) friends will float up and be separated from us here.

● 2. Remove the pulp:

Next is a very painful process, my friends and I were unripe to get rid of a layer of meat! Bloody scenes, not suitable for children!

We were put in the machine, get out! It feels like something is tearing at our bodies all the time. Take off our beautiful clothes (peel) and remove a layer of flesh (pulp), leaving only a layer of tendons (endocarp) of the body (coffee beans). At this time, there is a layer of mucous membrane outside our body, and the farmer uncle once told us that the process of experience (washing) is to clean the mucous membrane.

● 3. Fermentation:

The mucous membrane of our body has strong adhesion and is not easy to remove, so we are placed in the trough for about 18-36 hours to ferment the mucous membrane and then decompose it. In the workplace, I listened to the workers' uncles chatting. It turns out that there are two methods of fermentation: wet fermentation and dry fermentation. As the name implies, the former adds water and the latter does not. We're taking a bath. It's supposed to be wet fermentation, . In the process of fermentation, I feel that I have made a special change. (I heard that this is one of the steps that most affects the flavor of our washed coffee beans in our experience. )

● 4. Washing:

Congratulating myself on successfully passing the first three challenges, thousands of coffee bean buddies and I were sent to a large pool with running water, and we all started surfing (going back and forth). Use the friction of beans and the power of running water to wash the coffee beans smooth and clean. (after playing with exhaustion, everyone found that each other had become clean and beautiful! Whoa, ha, ha.

● 5. Dry:

After taking a bath, I was wrapped in the pericarp and felt watery all over. At this time, I was a beautiful man (with a water content of 50%). However, this is not a good thing, if the moisture content is not dried at this time, so that the moisture content is reduced to 12%, we will continue to produce alcohol, mildew and decay. So in the following days, we found a sunny place and basked in the sun for almost half a month!

● 6. Shelling:

After the sun, we can finally cool off! By this time, our experience was almost finished. In the following days, my friends and I stayed in the warehouse, and some of them were handed over to the factory for shelling (removing endocarp and silver film).

● 7. Selection and grading:

A few days ago, the warehouse we stayed in also held a beauty pageant, strong, smooth-skinned friends were graded according to the score in the competition, and then went abroad for further study. I'll tell you in secret, I'm one of them!
