Finally, a dryer is used to make the moisture content reach a unified standard. The most unique thing is to use parchment to cover coffee beans with a thin film to maintain a moisture content of 18%. Before shipment, the coffee bean surface film is polished and cleaned. The world calls this section of the special treatment method called Indonesian-style semi-washing method, large coffee processing plants can accurately control each treatment process, flavor and taste has a certain level.
